Well, I'm not too familiar with the 300E, but I looked at a parts website ( and saw that there is a fuel distributor for a 1989 300E that one can buy (seriously expensive btw), so that makes me think the car uses a distributor. Richard

I guess that means its not as fuel effient as an EFI engine. I wonder how well these engine runs with the distributor. I mean does it cut off often? Or I guess mercedes engineering does a very good job of timing everything properly.
