I own a 1991 420SEL with 188K miles on the odometer. The car runs fine, except for a little occasional rough idle. All components check out fine, so I think that maybe after nearly 200K it is time to replace the spark plug wires, which are still the original ones. Any suggestions on what wires to get? should I get OEM wires, or maybe some performaces ones, like ACCEL? the second part of my question is: How difficult is it to replace the spark plug wires on a 420SEL. I've done the job on other cars, but somehow M-Bs seem more "intimidating." I'd appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks.
