Cool 1982 300sd Idle Screw female part stripped

Is there a way to repair a stripped thread in the IP housing that the Idle Screw goes into? Mine is messed up and the screw slides in and out. I have done a temporary fix with multiple layers of teflon tape. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks...Mike

Default 1982 300sd Odometer Dead

On a different subject...the Odometer went dead...Speedometer works. It quit around 185,000 miles. Bought a used instrument cluster that shows 268,000 miles. Is there an easy way to roll back the 268 to 185? I know the other option is to fix my odometer to make it work.

Thanks...Mike
