1975 300D Adjust idle just a bit.
I would like to adjust my base idle up just a bit on my 1975 300D what's the best way to adjust?
Also, when I adjust the idle from the inside using the dash adjust knob, it seems to have an affect on the linkage making the trottle pedal a tad harder to depress, and it's not as smooth.
Any ideas or info would be appreciated, thanks.

Mercedes does not carry the speaker vinyl speaker cover any longer. So my next step is to try and repair. How do I remove the cover? it appears that it may snap in and out, but I don't want to force it and break something.

1975 300D Post Valve Adjustment Pinging OK?
I adjusted my valves for the first time a few weekends ago. Two exhaust and one intake needed adjustment. Engine runs better but it seems to ping more when it's cold. Is this normal and/or OK. I certain that I did the adjustment correctly. Thanks.

1975 300D Smoother Transmission after valve adjustment
I successfully adjusted the valves on my 1975 300D using the kit from MercedesSource (awesome wrenches by the way). Only 2 exhaust and 1 intake needed to be adjusted but engine does run smoother. In addition, my transmission is shifting much smoother, almost too smooth, almost like it is slipping but not quite.
Should this be a concern I don't want to pre-maturely wear out my transmission.
