Question I have is, do the 09027 wires which are marked as being for Mercedes Benz 8 cyl Engine have s/s or copper wire?
How do we find that out?
I will ask Arizona ******** (where I bought the parts). I have also emailed Bosch Canada, but not sure I will get much from them.

The pix looks like a bonded steel/copper wire
I think we are confising resistors w resistance.
All electricity when it travels thru a wire will find some resistance as its not flowing thru a vacuum.
I read copper solid core has alot of resistance
but the reason they went away from it is the conductivity of copper
makes alot of interference with the critical computer controlled parts
either that or its an excuse to make with cheaper parts.
Resisitance in a wire is not good
the more resistance the harder the electric has to worl to get thru the wire. these days there is so much inital voltage going thru that unless you have bad leakling wires you will have enough to jump the gap at the plug
Another point I read was that the resulting voltage that jumps the gap
will only be the amount necessary yo make the jump
hopefully its about 10,000 but could be up to 30,000
So maybe the wires are ok
