New man on the diesel block 300 TD help

I would like to introduce myself before I ask for assistance.

New to the '82 300 TD world. I bought it on a whim cause I always likes the wagon and Car& Driver once had a story on customizing a 300 - very cool

I cant tell you much because some one dontated it and I found it

Tach does not work , spedometer needs help too
fuel guage jumps a whole lot
Inerior is very clean. Being a midwest car she has some cancer but not alot

Just adjusted the valves- about to test compression
just got fuel line to replace those running from injector to injector.

Symptoms: WEAK ACCELERATION White smoke but not really bad after she warms up. I am sure the transmission needs work
Thinkn bout ( dreaming of a 5 speed in there )manual trans instead of putting bucks into an auto rebuild

Now- vacuum leaks off the brake booster line- Ordered that yesterday with all the fuel and oil filters-
On the first vacuum line off the brake booster has a 3 way split and one line goes down to another 2 way split - Where does that line go to?????- it is just hanging with nothing to attach that I can see

Major oil in the air filter so I figure she has high mileage

Been scopeing with the search button - printed off 30 pages so far.

great board - so glad I found it

Appreciate any and all help

Peace all

If that oil is towards the inside of the air filter it may just take a new $30 vacuum diaphram ( pretty easy job) to fix..... I loved my 1981 wagon....
