[W126 Coupe] Vacuum problem? Got the car running! Like Shit!

David,

I tried running a 2 sets of Bosh Platinum Plugs in my car, they fouled out 
at about 8-10K.  I went back to the cheap old bosh supers like it calls for. 
These cars don't have the necessary spark to make theses platinum's work 
with our distributor type setup.  But will work on the newer models with 
coil pack ignitions .

I would get those things out of there asap. The autoparts store told me that 
they are being told to push these for some reason.
