True, the electric fuel pump may be a red flag, or it may have been done
to cure a F.O.R.D. situation, and not yet repaired permanently. I put
an electric fuel pump on a vw to cure the combination of no transfer
pump and use of a rotary IP. I don't believe that needs an apology.
However, Weber carbs are regarded as an upgrade, not butchery. The
zeniths are infamous for warping and being unable to tune correctly.
It ia analogous to the Carter/Holly arguments among muscle car
aficionados. Putting a holly on a SS396 may be sacrilege to some, but
it IS a lot easier to work on and may deliver better performance.
I agree with Max, that every used MB has some things that need to be
undone and done correctly, or to the owner's taste.

That and the electric fuel pump. Suggests an uninformed mechanic who made
bad choices for repairs.

You mean the webers? Or was there something I missed? He sez he'll
include the zeniths. To me, that is ALL good.

It does looks nice, except for the "upgrades" to the fuel system which are
anything but.
