        Technical Notes:
  
         - Application: Throughout the years   from 06/1963 first 230SL to the end of production in 02/1971,
                                 Mercedes Benz introduce several changes on the Pagoda ignition system ,the very early
                                 230SL  models were equipped with cast iron distributors vacuum advance , by 11/1965
                                 they were replace by cast iron distributors with vacuum retard , those were kept in production 
                                 for all 250SLs and the 280SLs up to 06/1969 , after that the aluminum body were standard 
                                 to the end of production ,other modifications include the introduction of the transistorized 
                                 ignition by mid 1969 , however many cars through the years have been altered either  with 
                                 service replacement distributors from Mercedes Benz or complete engine replacements
                                 from the dealerships or other model donors , it is important to  make sure that you are getting
