thanks, Dan.
if that's Loren, i wonder what the deal is,... he's shared some
stuff in the past that was worth saving.
i feel that if anyone has anything they think is of value to share
they should at least feel it's worth putting their name on to get fair
credit for it; once they fail

Thanks, I guess I missed the regular plugs at the bottom. When I
read that I was still trying to figure out if the platinum plugs
would work. Forgot to look again afterwards.

Never use platinum plugs in a MB. It will idle like crap after a while.
Just use the bosch super plugs, they are cheaper and work much better

I remember an article in a motorcycle magazine from the 1970's,
"once you hit 0.035, it really doesn' matter". What they were doing
was replacing the wimpy twin lead coils on Honda fours with four
car coils (yep, it looked funny,

Thanks Dan and Ernest. I am convinced to go back and buy
NON-resistor non-bosch plugs. These had a rebate on them, and then I
got a letter saying they were not going to pay the rebate from
NAPA. Twice burned! My faith in NAPA is diminished too. THey said
these were right for the car. But

Don't know if that means I just got
some bad ones or what, but I don't think I will try them again.

Word on the street is that Bosch plugs are crap these days.
Also you have to be careful what type of plug you put in a Merc, a lot
of the early ones need a _*non*_ resistor type of plug because the
resistor is built into the ignition leads and you may well end up with
too much resistance.

plugs don't usually have that may applications; and don't usually vary
much across the vehicles that might use any specific application.
i don't know where you're getting your P/Ns from and you didn't
specify *which* plat you're using, but did you go to the source?

Supposed to be gapped properly for something, but probably not a
380SL, so what is the proper gap supposed to be? If I am going to
put em in, I 'd rather check the gap first.
