I don't know the specifics but the.066 and .067 was the M119 engine .068 is M113. Here is a nice write up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merced...SL-Class_(R129).

That could be multiple things, you need to read the codes with a scanner to determine the correct one

The .066 has a ke jetronic injection and the 067 has the electronic one ( I think motronic) have to check the correct name)

You can see the difference in the upper back of the engine the 066 has a spider like fuel distributor and the 067 has the complete cover.

Among many things a faulty crankshaft position sensor could cause this. I would read codes as suggested in an earlier post. The procedure is discussed in this current thread. You'll need a 12-volt LED or similar device to view electrical pulses.
