but it's not. It was done by a guy in Argentina and the 4.5's were US only; moreso US spec MB's of that vintage, being early emissions years had multiple variations on engine.



If/when you do find the spec for the M117 motor, lemme know and I'll add it. If you'll notice though, the point gap is pretty much the same for every car from a 4 cyl to the 6.3 behemoth. Worst case, try that (0.012 -



0.016)

how so?

Any suggestions? How do

Eh. I'd stick with th epoits frankly.

they fly better?

So they can't fall down the manhole...
