J-N-T,

From what I'm finding the BCH-4478 shows as a resistor plug as well. Have you checked with anyone besides Autozone about this?

I'm just curious now.

That is a good question, as far as I know there is no visible indicator except the model number to indicate if it is a resister plug or not.

Dave,

The Beru 14-9-DU would be a good choice for the 560 motor.

For what it's worth.

That's actually a safety release for anyone trapped in the trunk. All cars after a certain year have some sort of release, most are not as nice as what Benz has devised.
