[W126 Coupe] Spark plugs and wires

[Jonathan Hodgman]

I'm just stating a fact that's all.  Not out to Get you Rusty..  Runing
Resistor style plugs is NG for our cars ignition system and it just so
happens that Bosch gave up on non resisitor plugs a few months ago..  Even
the WP catalog states they have changed if I'm not mistaken.
