Just find/buy an old injector tube and cut the end off with a tubing tool then use a fine flat file to dress the angle of the end to match the picture as closely as you can .
This is what I did and it turns out it's not hard to make nor to use, I was nervous as all get out I'd muck it up and damage my engine but eventually I had to change out my old worn out injection pump and gave it a go .
I decided to try using 26° timing (Mercedes says 24°) as several people have told me this works out well, so far so good ~ the car still starts in less than one full engine revolution and no smoke, no more oily spatter out the exhaust and all over the back of the car.....
Mercedes says if you're experiencing hard cold starting to cycle the glow plugs twice and hold the accelerator to the floor and don't let off until all cylinders are hitting .
I'm quite sure once you adjust the valves and discover a couple were at or close to zero lash, your starting troubles will vanish .

Hey y'all,
My '77 240D had been behaving pretty well lately. I did come up with a
ploy to prevent the injection pump from sticking on me, which I think is
the cause of my intermittent low power. I used to crank briefly three
times, then let it fire up, but I found that all I have to do is let the
glow plugs run for one cycle, the turn the key off and on two more times
and it fires right up.
I think I am ready to check the timing, adjust the valves and if time
permits, install the new injectors.
Does anyone have a spare timing drip tube they could part with?
Thanks,
