Kingsborne wires, cap, rotor, and plugs

I recently did an iginition tune up on my MB the other day and boy does it run like a clock now! I promised Chris some step-by-step tutorial pics but I forgot my camera at my place in Sacramento....sorry Chris. I do however have a pic w/ the new spark plug wire holder and wires installed. It looks very nice, I'll have the pic up sometime this week. Unfortunately though I discovered that the previous owner used a Beru 4 prong plug. I fear this to be a platinum version from Beru, much like the Bosch platinum +4. Luckily the car runs smoother now.

looks good. love the red wires with the red valve cover.

My engine you see no wires except the coil wire to the distributor cover panel, so mine can stay black...

I always use the original bosch coppers in my car. never used anything else...

I was thinking of switching to those silver plugs.. supposed to be very good.

There are a few brands out there that make silver core plugs vs copper.... bosch makes some too

These also look interesting... http://www.e3sparkplugs.com

They are not cheap, but I don;t think it can hurt either. I may bite the bullet and go for it one of these days to see what is what.
