None of the local stores had anything so I went to the local Pick-n-Pull and pulled 3 injectors out of a W116 turbodiesel. I know, different model, but I figured maybe the nozzles are compatible. They all turned out to be bad anyway, even though some were clearly not original because they were French. So the bad news is that I wasted more money, though I did purchase the exchange policy so maybe I can find something else more useful in the next 30 days. The good news is that tonight I aggressively cleaned the two German nozzles that were giving me problems and now they no longer squirt! So actually I will now be able to reuse all my original nozzles. Next I'll do this same thorough cleaning on the rest of the injectors, retest them and finally install them. After having my 87 300D on the operating table for over a month, I can't wait to drive it again.
