I would NEVER cut the factory air cleaner.
I put an electronic ignition on my '66 230SL and was amazed at how much smoother idle was.
IF I move forward on this I'll definitely try my best to keep it stock looking. I have no intention of racing it, just trying to get it running as smoothly as possible with sympathetic upgrades.
I'll look into the DuraSpark II.
Thanks for the input.
