Hey folks -- Thanks again to Joe Bauers for helping me adjust the valves in my newly purchased '75 300D. After the adjustment, the car felt much more "sure of itself" from about 30mph up to highway speed, but when I got home and idled into my driveway, the car shuddered and died. Then, when backing out into the street an hour or so later, it shuddered and died again when in reverse.

The car idles fine in park or neutral, but dies when shifted into gear with the brakes on or on an incline. Any ideas? Might we have gotten the linkage atop the valve cover just "out of whack" enough to cause these symptoms?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
