Additional question

I installed the spark plug connectors on #3 and #4 plugs. They fit without the angled connectors. About 1/4 inch between the wires that come together with the angled setup of the plugs. The units can be removed and installed easily.
ARE THESE ANGLED CONNECTORS REQUIRED????

The replacement set fits fine. Why did Mercedes make the angled fitting? Is there a reason? Can't I just use the set as is and without the angled connectors??

Has anyone installed a set without changing the #3 and #4 conncetors. If so how did she run?

Dave
