I am by no means a gasser expert, but the problem where it doesn't start
after it has been sitting sounds like there is a fuel leak or a check
valve that is letting fuel flow back into the fuel tank.
No clue on the other stuff...
Best of luck

OK I am having some real funky issues with my 73 280SEL 4.5. The car has
never run right. When I first bought the car, the timing was way out and the
car ran bad and would pop. My Dallas mechanic addressed this and changed the
timing chain. The car then ran well for a while but now appears to be running
super rich. Especially if left to idle for a while. I left it running at idle
for about 15 minutes and it started choking up and chucking black smoke from
the tail pipe when I would pull off.Another strange problem is that if you do
not start the car for a couple of days, the car will not want to start. You
would have to leave it to crank for more then a minute before it would start.
Once it has started and left running for a few mins, then if you shut the
engine off and crank it again, it would start on the button.
I have replaced the fuel pressure regulator and my mechanic replaced the map
sensor and some of the injectors earlier.
Anyone seen these issues before? Any advice is appreciated.
Regards
Al
