help, just changed dist caps on my 94 E500. GOOFY ME, i did not mark down wiring order of dist caps. appreciate for schematic of distributor caps.thanx

ph7, if you're using Bosch distributor caps the terminal numbers are marked with left and right designations. If the new caps aren't marked go to thebenzbin.com and search under 1994 MB, E500, Engine Electrical, Distributor Cap. Enlarge the thumbnail of the Bosch distributor cap so you can read the terminal markings.

thanx for the info. i did that, but which wire from pass side to DRIVER cap or vice versa? help. this is a cool sight. my first time as a user. thanx a million.

I believe the DIY points out that the right side of the engine is on the right if you are sitting in the car. If you are standing in front of the car athen the right side is on your left. The dist caps have a R/L on each connection post along with the wire /cylinder #. depending whether its the right or left. If your wires are numbered then connect that number to the number on the cap depending if it is on left or right.

Example: one post will say R4 and L5, so if you are connecting the right side of the engine wires then the number 4 cylinder wire goes on this post
