350SDL Correct Idle Speed Is What?

My 350SDL is idling at 650 RPM and I have a rough idle problem.

Is this idle speed too low? What should it be?

Can I adjust it, if so how?

Thank you.

You can adjust it with a small knob near your fusebox. I lowered my idle to around 600rpm but occasionally my car would stall with the AC on. So I have it at about 650 - 700 now. 87 300SDL.

RG,

I'm in Clearwater Beach. Who is the best MB tech/garage in Pinellas or Tampa Bay that you know of?

thats a really good question. The cheapest mechanic is in my garage . My good local mechanic that i used to use for my buick century screwed up the vacuum system on the MB when i took it to him, but he did do a good job putting in the alternator(was going to do it but rents offered to pay for installation ). A good source for parts is Rick's european off of 66th street and i beleive 114th ave. It's located in largo, but i've always considered it more Pinellas Parkish area. My girlfriend lives somewhere around clearwater beach. I beleive in the harbor bluffs area. If you find a good one please lemme know, there are some things that i dont think i'd want to tackle myself(ac systems mainly, i'm scared of those )
