OK~

There is this little tab looking thing that I can spin around, but I have no idea what it is or does.

Can someone enlighten me as to what it is? LOL.



It is on the woodgrain part, just below the battery light.



Thanks.

Nice to see another 300SD owner. Is that Hunters, Western Australia, or Hunters, Washington? That is the idle control knob, which regulates engine idle speed. It is useful in the morning during cold weather to keep the engine running smoothly until it warms up. 1980 model years don't have this knob.
