I'm actually serious though. They are not available rebuilt, only new, and they are over 900.00. I have never taken one apart, but know from the bosch tech manual that they are pretty simple inside. There are several very fine slots in it which meter fuel. If I were going to mess with one I really would get a few cheap ones and take them apart to see how they tick. That way you will know the things to look for when you go for the "real" one.
You might try manually moving the air flow sensor. If it is frozen solid then you know that the piston in the fuel distributor is rusted up.
You might try some wd-40 or lps in all the fittings for a few days. see if that losens it up.
Water in the fuel is the number one killer of CIS injection. In truth, unless origionallity is a primary concern, you could likely convert it to "i" Motronic.
: : That is a 900.00 fuel distributor. I'd suggest having it looked at by a bosch specialist. If not go get a few vw or 320i ones from a junkyard and destroy them first.
: : Someone did have aused one for about 400 several months ago.
: : Seach the arq.

: : : I'm working on a '79 323i that's been sitting for eight years. I've gotten everything back together on the motor and chassis and now trying to get it running. I've replaced the fuel pump/filter assy, cleaned the lines from the pump to the fuel dist., and the motor will actually start and run for a couple seconds on the fuel from the cold start injector. The problem is that I can't get the fuel to pass through the dist. to the injectors. Are the fuel distributors easy to take apart and clean? Any suggestions before I start tearing it apart?
