I picked up a '74 164E that has been sitting for about a dozen years.
After going through the fuel system draining the tank and lines...I then replaced every f.i. hose and injector seals in the engine compartment and then fuel lines around the fuel filter area.
After trying to start the car I noticed the electric fuel pump which I believe is a Bosch is leaking a bit from the backside of the pump. The car runs in this situation but of course is a fire hazard. Question is: Has anyone replaced a gasket for this Bosch pump instead of replacing parts? I hoping I can make my own gasket. If replacing the whole pump is viable , what brand is recommended on this car?
