'87 300SDL-rough running at start

Hi, I recently acquired an '87 300 SDL, has 130K miles on it, looks and runsvery nice. I have an issue I want resolved. Starts fine, with a littleroughness at beginning. After warming up and shutting down within approx.6-10 miles running, when starting again it smokes and has a loud knock andis rough running. Drive it away and it clears up until starting again, samething happens. The smoke is light in colour, almost white and isconsiderable. I feel it is an injection (timing) issue, but no one in myarea has equipment or knowledge to handle it. I am heading to Florida soon,from N.B. Canada, travelling the eastern coast, and would like to getsomeone who understands this engine to take a look and repair for me. I wasadvised to contact Brian Carlton for advise on where to go as he has severalof these vehicles. Any advice?
