1985 380SEL Smokes and fuel smell
Any ideas are appreciated. Car has only 100k miles. Compression is good at about 175psi on all 8. Noticed cylinder #1 spark plug is wet with fuel. Has spark and injector tested fine. While running I pull the plug wire (on #1) and makes no differnence in running. All other spark plugs are very black. Car smokes alot when running and smells like gas from exhaust.

Hmm
If it still has the factory ignition coil, I suggest you replace it.
A weak (dieing) coil would be the cheapest issue/answer.
