Doh! Sorry, 1981 300SD 278k.

Valve clearance is the same as an adjustment, right? If so, I already have that on the list, as well as compression test, and chain stretch. I'll also take a look at the flex discs.

I'm putting off the injectors because of cost right now. Some of these other items are higher priorities, plus I need 2-3 new tires. I also want to see if the MB shop next to my workplace will do injector testing/rebuild first, and then decide where my money goes. Plus it's a project I can attack by itself at home instead of on vacation in the folks garage.

Regardless of it's fate, this is the car I'm learning car repairs on. Hope to get this stable enough to start saving for another. Future projects include timing chain, suspension, axle boots, turbo, flex discs, cooling system, hopefully all of that within the next 6-12 months then I think I'll be pretty comfortable with the state of the car.
