The current part number is Bosch 0 986 438 089. The part is no longer available new - these are remanufactured units. www.worldpac.com should have one.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Are you sure that you don't have the 450SLC engine in your car? Looking at the Bosch part list for your car (300SEL, 116.981) these vehicles were equipped with an electronic fuel system (not K-Jet or mechanical).
