Does the W123 really have the blinking light for bad plugs? I mean, his is obviously blinking...but mine was not when I had a bad plug on my '85. I was under the impression that when enough plugs went out on the later style W123 setup the light simply wouldn't light.

Slightly confused as to this. I thought the blinking was a post-W123 thing.
