[W126 Coupe] Spark plugs and wires

[Dick Spellman]

I am doing a friends 380SE 1985 this weekend.  I am using the Bosch 
distributor cap and rotor, Bosch OEM (available at the dealer, no 
problem) W9DC plugs and a new set of Karlyn wires (I think they are 
113G/8).  Jonathan has the details.  These are by far the best set of 
wires I've ever seen or used.  Bremi insulator plug connectors (set 
to1K/Ohm) with Beru distributor plug ends and a nice wire set (double 
silicone wall , that's silicone over silicone with 19 strands of timnned 
copper core) all labeled for an easy install.  This will be my 5th set 
of Karlyn's in 3 or 4 years.  They are good for at least 100k miles the 
oldest set I have running right now are at 70k miles.

I'd ask Jonathan for the set-up and you should be in great shape.  Might 
ask for any wire manager clips as needed if any of yours are cracked.  I 
just received my set from Jonathan today and I did not ask but, he 
included the Silicone Dielectric grease for the boots.

I'm ending my job in a month to get some car stuff fixed and I want to make sure I get everything out of the way (broken rear window, flex disks, coolant, spark plugs and wires, oil, and that should do her).
