Hi All,

I'm wondering what items 1 and 2 are. They are both located near the battery on my '87 260E (M103 W124)

thanks,

#1 is the "altitude correction capsule" (the tube is just a vent)

#2 Looks like a resistor

Yea two looks like the trimming resistor for the ignition timing map.

The famed free HP resistor? Is that thread still going in the hot-rods forum?

I've got an empty resistor socket on mine, says "free beer and sex". Should I try it?

Thanks all...

So "2" is the famed R16 huh.... I would have never guessed...

What's the function of "1"?

thanks,

As langfeife stated, it is an altitude correction sensor. It gives the fuel management system information on altitude.
