Hey thanks! The #'s on the camshaft are 4797 617 05. The 4797 is near the front of the shaft. Isn't an SD a turbo? I thought the 300 Series was not in a Turbo until 1981?

As you suggested, Jimmy L., We switched injector 1 and 4. There was still no change in the idle in the #4 cylinder. What would be the possible culprit of that cylinder not firing? Thanks!
