Default 1982 500sel no start

I have a1982 500sel euro. Car ran fine then stalled a couple of times. I changed wires, plugs, cap, rotor and fuel filter. Car ran fine for a couple days then stalled again and now wont start. I was told that it may be the ignition control box or the fuel pump. The fuel pump does come on and I can smell fuel after trying to start. Any way to check the ignition box? Any advice would help.

Thanks, I think I'll replace the box and see what happens. I found one reasonably priced.
