I have a 1981 300D non-turbo 5cylinder engine. The injection pump is bad. It is 700.00 to rebuild it. A man i know has pump that came out of a running engine that he will sell me for 50.00. What i need to know will it fit. His pump came out of a 1983 300td 5 cylinder car. He said there was atiming sensor in his pump, that all he knows. If it will swap, i, will be real happy. I need to know now, because he is leaving in 2 days. Any help will be great!

Turbo and non-turbo injections pumps cannot be interchanged, you would be seriously low on power.

There is a number on the pump (I don't know the exact location). Replace ONLY with the same number pump.
