It is possible that you do need an injection pump, but; nobody here can answer your question from your description.
More data needed also:
#1. Total miles?
#2. Any vehicle history?

Ok, sorry for being vague,, this was a continuation post after doing more troubleshooting.
You want details, I hardly have any..
You are correct, it's a 77 300D.
Total miles?? 257k.
Vehicle history? Donated to charity, I bought it at an auction for $150, to play around with and learn about diesel engines.
My age, 39. Current vehicles owned,, 04 F150, 02 Mustang GT Convert, 95 Honda Del Sol, 88 IROC, and the Benz. Gas experience, over 20 years,, diesel experience,,less than 20 hours.
What have I done so far? Replaced priming pump. Cracked the lines and bled them going from the big nut on top of the filter, to both banjo bolts on the injector pump, no air bubbles.
Removed the hard lines going from the injector pump to the injectors, and I can hand pump and get fuel out of all of them. However, when cranking the engine over,,, only #4 shoots fuel out. The others do nothing.
I have a question though.. when I hand pump it, the clear primary filter empties,, after I stop, it fills up again,, is that normal?
What digital pics do you need, I'll get them up.
