long style fuel pump, short style fuel pump
« on: September 08, 2020, 23:59:15 »
is there a reason why some 280SLs have a long fuel pump while others have short style?

Late 1968 (I believe) was when they switched from long to short pumps. Many cars have switched to short pumps over the years because of availability and ease of refurbishing.
