I cannot get the air filter housing off without ruining the fabulous rigging I did, thus I decided to consult the forum before removing anything.
Thanks in advance for all replies.

I had the same problem with brittle plastic. I broke the plastic line from the breather hose that goes under the air cleaner to the fuel pressure regulator, at least on my 300SE. I used a piece of hose fix it temporarily. I'll get a few feet of line and replace all those hoses.
On all my other FI cars, the FPR vacuum line goes to the intake manifold, or at least the throttle body area. I think it's rather odd that the vacuum point is at the air cleaner. Maybe mine is hooked up wrongly.
I don' know about the distributor cap, I haven't replaced mine yet.
