[W126 Coupe] Spark plugs and wires

[Dick Spellman]

I've heard that the Beru plugs and wires are really good, I've just 
never been able to locate anyone selling both the plugs and the wire 
set.  As for the OEM plug that was originally prescribed for these 
engines, they are still available at the MB dealer.  I just bought two 
full sets one for the M103 and the other for the 116 at the local dealer 
last week.  So, for $1.75 a plug you get the OEM spec'd plug.  The only 
item I have changed up on are the wires where MB wants a small fortune 
for a set, the Bosch I tried did not last long (coil wire failed at 40k 
where it passed over the front frame clip on the 91 300E (now gone), and 
the Karlyn that I originally got from Rusty have been great so far.

I've pestered Jonathan enough times with 'mechanical' phone calls (NO 
PARTS ORDER) to feel it's justified to give him what little business I 
represent in exchange for the help on fixing one of these MB's.  So, my 
decision is not made on price or quality for I feel both Rusty and 
Jonathan are comparable.  It's just that I've been really going into the 
weeds on fixing these cars and from time to time I get in over my head.  
Jonathan has bailed me out several times.  I'm not choosing sides just 
stating my needed value proposition in trying to keep these cars running.

Take care all.
