tune up parts same for 380sl / 500sl?

[greengoose]

I am finally ready to get a tune up on my 1982 500SL. (Plugs, rotor, cap and wires)

I am finding out the difficulty in verifying proper parts since its euro spec.

Are the parts (in this case) the same for an 82 380SL for my 500SL?

Plugs:
Wires:
Rotor:
Plugs:

Whatever else might be good to replace at this point.

Cap, rotor and wires are the same. The 500 uses a colder plug than the 380. NGK BP6ES on the 500 and NNGK BP5ES on the 380. Spec. is non resistor plugs. If cats have been added to 500 then use the 380 plugs.

Thanks for the reply. I have CATS on the underside. I will replace them with the NNGK BP5ES.

Just an FYI, if you go to one of the cookie cutter auto parts stores, give them p/n NGK 7832.
For whatever reason they don't use the BP5ES number on their computers.

The plugs on the Euro are cooler due to higher compression. Cats don't change that.

Use the BP6ES.

That's what I get for relying on my memory. Thanks again.
