Sections 07.5 519/520 of shop manual cover description, wiring diagrams and testing of these systems. https://www.startekinfo.com/StarTek/outside/11883/PROGRAM/Engine/107/M117_45/075-519.pdf https://www.startekinfo.com/StarTek/outside/11883/PROGRAM/Engine/107/M117_45/075-520.pdf The points and switchgear can be completely eliminated by installing a Pertronix 1885 plus a Flamethrower coil and wiring as described here: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r-c107-sl-slc-class/1714668-pertronix-install-without-switchgear.html Making the Pertronix fit will need to be addressed with that distributor - But it should be same as the 1975 model which is addressed in this link:Pertronix install - 1975 450SL - Mercedes-Benz Forum Depending on the type of switchgear, the wiring could be slightly different too.

Yes, I do.

Thank you for these diagrams! I checked electrical components and voltages "around" coil. Everything seems to work well.. Engine still doesn't want to start. It started just once if I pressed throttle to the metal, but in was running on maybe 2 cyl I will check how plugs look like. Again about ignition timing : Few photos, engine set up in TDC. Is that okey?: Camshaft on 1 cyl And at the end.... Timing marks on passanger side. Could this be a reason why car don't want to start? Edit: Right. I checked plugs. 6 of them are clean but completly wet. Plugs from 5 and 1 cyl are burned and dry - probably on these cyl engine was running for a while. I think that is good idea to checked again trigger points. Maybe injectors are working at wrong moment. Also I decided to leave engine without plugs and with open throttle body for a night, because intake manifold is full of petrol - my fault, probably I put to much fuel in it when I was trying to start engine with disconnected injectors :-) We'll see tomorrow.

You should probably align the passenger side cam marks first (RH side when sitting in car), then check how far off the LH (driver side?) cam marks and balancer pointer are. If they are not too far out, then with cam marks aligned on RH side, set the distributor so rotor points at TDC mark (even if you have to remove and re-insert distributor to do that).
If the crank pointer is more than say 8deg off TDC, then you usually need to look at chain and sprockets for stretch/wear. Post pic of balancer pointer when passenger cams are aligned. Is this a LHD or RHD car?

I aligned marks on RH side (cyl 1-4) and in that position, crank pointer say 15/16deg ATDC. Tomorrow I will check how it looks at other side 'cause now I have to go to work.
Car is of course LHD. |

With all respect to Graham, the position of the cams vs. crank as shown is OK for engine operation; it will run.
The important relationship for ignition timing is breaker point opening vs. crank position, and hence, piston position. If the breaker point is opening with the crank as shown, and the rotor is at #1, the engine will run as far as ignition is concerned. As Gertrude Stein (slightly paraphrased) reminded us a few years ago: "A right hand is a right hand, is a right hand, is a right hand, is a right hand." The location of the steering column is irrelevant. |

When breaker point should open? 5/10/15 BTDC?

The engine will run at any of those advance settings. Begin with 10 before, with both vacuum lines disconnected.

It may not be the reason, but the timing is way off. His balancer pointer should be within about 5deg or less of TDC when the cam marks are aligned. You can get by with more, but at 15-16deg ATDC something is badly wrong. (I "think" One cam tooth = 18deg?). Woodruff keys are available for up to 10deg adjustment, but at that point, chain/sprockets/tensioner are usually changed. Frank, did you see where the passenger (RH) side cam marks were when rotor was pointing to distributor mark? Unless I am reading the picture wrong, they were nowhere near aligned. Do you think that is OK? szamik, you can continue trying to get car to run, but you have already done many things without any luck. It may not be your problem, but I would get timing as close to spec as you can. It isn't at present.

At that point, where did the rotor point?

The valve timing is acceptable for engine operation; there is considerable wear of chain & sprockets, and the valve timing is late, but the engine will run. Quote:
Crank sprocket has 18 teeth. One tooth = 20 crankshaft deg = 10 camshaft deg. Quote:

I found where I got the 18deg from - Shop manual says "an offset of 1 tooth on camshaft sprocket results in approx 18deg at crankshaft". Could the chain be 1 tooth off on camshaft sprocket?

szamik. Could you post a picture of the right cam alignment marks when at TDC? The current picture is not helpful.

Camshaft on 1 cyl And at the end.... Timing marks on passanger side. If that last pic is the right side , then isn't surprising crank was out by 15-16deg when the marks were lined up?
