Post IGNITION WIRES QUESTION
Its time to replace my ignition wires on my 1990 300SE, dealer wants $42 each for spark plug wire and 32 for coil wire. That brings total cost to near $300 does any one here have any recommendation for a specific brand? I want to make sure also that lengths will be correct so they all fit nicely in the val ave cover channel.

Check with these guys and see if they offer an aftermarket set.
