R107 380SL Restoration Update: Why Change the V8 Distributor Cap and Rotor?

[@jurgenh4590]

Hello, mine is a 1985 380SL. If replacing the cap and finger, is there no need for any adjustments for setting the ignition timing? Thank you

Is this, despite the cap is different, the same process for an euro 1988 420SE (M116 AKR)?

[@Mercedessource]

Yes, it is.

Is this cap correct for an '85 500SL?

[@Mercedessource]

Yes it will, mercedessource.com/store/r107-380sl-380slc-distributor-cap-and-rotor-set

It's that electronic ignition? Have you converted it?

[@Mercedessource]

The car has factory electronic ignition.
