Fuel issues on 450 SL

I had a fuel pump relay go bad, so I ordered and installed a new relay. Now, once in awhile while driving the car looses power, just as if running out of gas. If I just stay calm the gas must start flowing again in 5 to 10 seconds and the engine comes back to life and I keep on my way. This has happened three or four times and not every time I drive it. Any ideas on if the relay would be acting up or the fuel pump?

I am also interested if I take the car to the MB dealer can they give the fuel and electrical system a check over to make sure things are operating correctly or does something have to be wrong? The car only has 75,000 miles and I would like to start restoring it as much as I can.

I have to take it to a dealer so they can inspect the A-frames, for a recall that was never done. Would it be a good idea to have them go ahead and replace the bushing as they are 30 years old?

Thanks for any help and/or advise.
Doug
