Question She died in the driveway today

Came home from a drive in my 300SE parked her in the drive and this morning she won't kick over. She has spark, fuel is flowing up to the fuel distributor but does not seem to continue past that point. Injectors appear to be fine as well, just wondering if anyone agrees with the possibility of replacing the fuel distributor, it does not seem seized up but..... She has done 338,000 kms and was garaged for 2 years without care and fuel was left in the tank....did what I could when i rescued her but now the fun begins

The mechanic just left and he brought her back too life......Dirty contact points and a vacuum hose that had popped off. Lucky me

Glad to see you got it working. Would hate like hell to see a W126 go.
