Bought the 82 300sd i posted about earlier. I was reading about adjusting the alda (possibly) by either changing the adjustment or shimming the alda. Went to inspect my pump, it appears to be non adjustable. The alda mounts with a large square plate and four bolts. The adjustment appears to be sealed and not serviceable. Pump may not be original, has yellow paint marks on the delivery valve yokes.

Am I missing something?

It doesn't matter if you know what you're doing, as long as you look like you know what you're doing.

the gorillas 'round here tear the cap off to reach the adjustment nut on top of the ALDA
