& that it would pair up with the bosch rotor & distr cap...

Who knows
but I have them & hopefully new bosch will be better than the old ones on there...

Have to talk to Enrique
I might havew to see the Bosch or take a stock loss & return them to Rusty.

I'd think about exchanging them
buy they just take so long to get here
& I;d like to have this done by xmas
I;m sure you can understand that...

This is true, but just think about how much you are saving by doing the work yourself.

Just today, I changed my wires to the Beru for my 300e (w124). They say silicone on them and they sure look nice. Ok, so it took me 2 hours to change the wires, rotor and cap, but I took my time - you know how females are....
My mechanic would have charged me $95 per hour, so I know I saved at least that much.

Ohhh I don't mind doing work or saving money
but I have to admit
sometimes you have to get expert help

I don't even know if the wirs I got are really right for my car
Its a Euro & parts can be extremely confusing

I don't mind paying to get things done right
I'm no expert but I try my best
Did Ok w rotor & cap
Saved $
but I;m not in the mood to have anything else break
got to get a therm vac valve replaced
because I broke it
So did I save $$$
maybe not
but I mat still have gotten more for my $
