A 94 W140 would not have coil packs, it will have a conventional distributor
setup with coils, caps and rotors.
I would avoid unless you’re looking for a hole in the ground to pour some money
into. Pre-facelift W140s have a litany of issues to deal with.
96 and later are the ones to go for.

On a cross city run yesterday I noticed diesel prices in Phoenix are now
well North of the $ 3 mark... best was $3,09 ... highest I saw was $3.29
with gas running more in the $3.20+ range.
So, fuel prices are clearly in an upward spike.
On that note. I went to look at a 1994 S600 V12 Sedan with 76,000 miles
that has been setting for 3 years. It ran when parked because of a "miss in
the engine"...
Anyone here have any words of wisdom about what that might be? Other than
expensive? Did not attempt to start it, just gave it a look over. no body
damage, clear coat on hood and roof needs redone. Ask was $2K... we're
"talking about that".
I seem to recall something with plugs was a common issue on v12. and parts
were $1,000 per side for coil packs.
Thoughts, advise? [running shoes are in the tool kit, btw.]

2.2l or 2.5? I really liked my '85 190D 2.2l 5spd, I really didn't like
the auto. I don't really like automatic transmission cars anyway so I'm
probably just biased.
Best mpg I ever got was 43. I could probably do better now, better tires
would probably help, I was short on cash back then so I just ran cheap
bologna skins.
I've got a few 190D parts still, one headlight surround (with fog light)
and one tail light, some other stuff too. Anybody wants 'em they can have
them for shipping. If you wanted to come to MA I'd make breakfast...

I have this 190D 5 speed I got running but have not quite finished up
yet. I think the only thing it needs is to replace the windshield and
get the cruise control going. With fuel prices skyrocketing, perhaps
now is the time to put it into service for myself rather than selling
it. Or perhaps now is the time to sell if as people will pay lots for
it due to said high prices.
