Before you ordered plugs,
did you check to see if they were getting ANY juice themselves? Problem easily could be upstream from the plugs.

Now, if you just wanted new plugs for the sake of new plugs and the old ones were shot, that is different obviously.

Nice car. I like it..... I am partial to Mercedes styling and like the C class, especially the 300 4 matic

Unfortunately, I am not interested in the cost of maintenance on these vehicles or the parts.

So I drive a 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport trimmed out. Very nice ride and everything we need to be comfortable, quiet, and enjoy a smooth ride and a long warranty.

IF it performs like my last vehicle, it should last for a long time before needing replaced.....

That is my goal anyway....

Its my friends car. They made only like 1600 of these. It's an experiment with the all aluminum engine. A few added features to the SL. It is longer, the sail panels in the back windows for privacy. It stopped running and no one could figure it out, sooooooooooo it ends up in my yard LOL, SO FAR I have no idea. Been working 2 days on it. I have new plugs and rotor coming tomorrow. Had to order SPARK PLUGS WTF. He always buys the hardest to work on shit haaa. Have a V-12 Jag down below, I imagine that one is next........


I aint gonna get lightening up for better pictures SORRY .......

EDIT I was wrong. It is fewer


The 450 SLC 5.0 was built in limited numbers with 1470 being created for road use which was enough to satisfy ONS/FIA homologation requirements. Only a few were used for motor-sports events. It is believed that 40 were sold to the United States. The all-aluminum 5.0 liter V8 engine produced 240 horsepower which was similar to the one that had been used in competition.
