Without going into the resistor/non resistor discussion, I have recently been made aware of the fact that the computers for a few of the major auto parts chains currently shows an incorrect STOCK # of 7505 for the "standard" Bosch SUPER plugs for many Mercedes V8 applications: they are, inevitably, "no longer available" and/or "out of stock", etc.

WR8DCW plugs (0 242 229 531-076) are Bosch STOCK # 7506, they usually have a bunch and they are $1.09 each around here.

No big deal (if you can get past the resistor/non resistor TRAUMA ) but I thought it might be of interest to some out there.

At least they aren't PLATINUM, unOBTANIUM, or whatever else!

Cheers!
