Mervyn,

What I did was modify the stock COIL WIRE. Only the COIL WIRE needs to be modified, the plug wires from the distributor to the plugs stay untouched.

To modify the coil wire, I cut off the end of the boot that normally connected to the Bosch OE coil. Then I took the parts supplied with the Accel coil and added it on to the coil wire I just cut. This allows the original coil wire to connect onto the tower of the Accell coil. Thats it.

I gapped the plugs at 1mm on my wifes car. Runs great.

There are many opinions on this board. Take them as you wish. Some people are purest who only will do what MB designed from the factory. Thats OK.

Then there are people that love their MB just as much but don't mind tinkering and experimenting on them. Hey, its your car, go ahead. Thats OK too.

Just keep safety and reliability in mind.

Good luck.
