Hello everyone. I am the proud owner of a 1973 280se 4.5. I just bought the car about 3 weeks ago and I've been slowly trying to clean her up. But to get to the point, I had a question for you about the ignition. At the moment, I purchased 8 Bosch WR-7-DC+ along with the Karlyn-STI spark plug wires last week from the fine people here at PeachParts. So my questions are:
1. Does anyone know if these plugs are pre-gapped? And even if they are, does anyone happen to know what the gap should be for these vehicles?
2. The wires I bought state that they are for "Distributor Caps without Stud Connectors". What does that even mean? Does this have anything to do with the Spark Plug Connectors that they sell on the site? I intend to replace the cap and rotor as well, so if I were to purchase the caps that say "with Push On type connectors"...would I need to buy these connectors?
My apologies in advance if my questions seem "noob-ey", but I have searched this forum as well as a few others and I can't seem to come up with a clear answer. I would consult the MB manuals that I just purchased, but they were stolen out of my car from the guys at a local dealership
Thanks for reading everyone!
