The 123/MERCEDES-6-R-V distributor is designed for W108, W109, W110, W111, W112, W113, W114, W123 and W130 6-cyl. engines in the Mercedes:
- 220,

- 280, 280S, 280SE, 280SL,

Please check the dimensions and pay special attention to the bottom part of the shaft. The 123/Mercedes-6-R-V does not have a cogwheel. When your original distributor does have one, you can't directly use the 123ignition, it has to be adapted.

Please note the following about the 123/Mercedes-6-R-V

For electronic driven fuel injected engines (that need a trigger pulse from the ignition) please order the 123/MERCEDES-6-R-V-IE.

When your original distributor is equipped with a cogwheel, the 123ignition first has to be mechanically adjusted before you can use it. Our fine-mechanic can make this adjustment, the costs of this will be 249 euro (21% VAT included). We'll need your original distributor to compare the dimensions and to re-use the cogwheel. Please send us a message by e-mail first.

Please read the installation manual carefully. It contains more information about motor- and distributor numbers, static timing and the advance-curves, the specifications of the 123ignition and a step-by-step description of the installation procedure.

Coil and spark plugs

Although used coils all look alike, they should be viewed with suspicion since one cannot tell from the outside whether, and how often they were exposed to overheating in the past. Installing the 123ignition system will ensure that the coil will never be overheated again in the future. We recommend the 123 Red Coil.

Perhaps you will also need new spark plugs? At 123ignitionshop we recently added the spark plugs most commonly used in combination with the 123ignitions we offer. For your Mercedes 280 you might need the WR6DC spark plugs if not we have got several other types listed at the spark plugs list.
