Your confusion is understandable. The 250 originally had a 2.5 engine. By the middle of the production run for 1971 models, they switched over to the 2.8 engine. My 71 250 had the 2.8 engine. But, I had a friend with an earlier model with the 2.5. Of course, none of this is relevant to this discussion, because my 2.8 engine had the two carb set up. But, the 280SL did have the mechanical fuel injection in 1971. Donald H.
