I am very surprised to hear this. This means the early R129 500SL came with KE Jetronic too? I have taken your information and tried to prove it for myself. I am surprised if when designing the M119 they bothered with KE at all, knowing they were moving away from it only 2-3 years later.
Wasn't the 600 from 1991 and it did not have KE Jetronic?
Googling some pics of the 1990 500 engine I found this pic
Is that a fuel distributor at the back? Does that mean it's KE?
and this pic of a 1993
which does not have that.
If it's true shouldn't this mean a 1990-1991 500 engine would have a lot worse power/torque curve than a 1992-? Which hopefully brings us close to topic..
