74 240D Oscillating Idle

I had a bunch of work done about a month ago and this problem seemed to appear after that. The engine runs smooth in idle when it's in park, but when it's in gear it starts reving up and down. It's a real problem when trying to parallel park, the car moves in surges. If I put the pedal down it stabilizes.
The work was; rebuilt injectors (from MS), new fast glow plugs, new valve cover gasket, valve adjustment, replaced leaky o-rings on injector pump. . .
It seems to me to be in the injector pump, any thoughts?

'76 300D Can't open trunk

I was troubleshooting the vacuum system and removed the bracket that holds the trunk lock actuator in place. Went in to get a glass of water and a not-so-helpful family member shut the trunk.

I can turn the key to my heart's content - it moves very freely because there's nothing holding the actuator in place. I have absolutely NO CLUE how to get in to the trunk now.
