Hello together! I have already set this post “before” under W124 – but then when searching it found out that it is probably better kept here and maybe here more an answer can be expected. So I would like to apologize for the cross-posting! I have ignition problems (mechanical) with my 300-24, motor M104. Have ignition oscillations, very bad in slow idle and the wandering ignition spark always shoots me the cover disc (even the second) to the cylinder head or My question now: Is it really the case that there is no direct contact between the distributor’s cap and the distributor’s finger in this model? I don’t have a grinding carbon pin or anything else – it doesn’t look like one of them belongs in it either. In any case, the spark has to jump here from the input of the ignition coil in the distributor’s cap to the middle part of the distributor’s finger! Well, and apparently the spark is “mistaken” there. nn now and then 🙂 Is there a part missing or does it have its correctness that a “long spark” is generated at this point? Many thanks already for the help! Ciao 300TE24 aka Pico
