Good info, Brad. I recently picked up a 75A alternator for the 'BB', and purchased one of Pete's 160A alternator kits for the '71.

I also purchased Spoke's LED tail light assemblies and have Timothy's LED gauges for the '71 too.

I've got one more idle stability thing I'm working on. All D-Jet 914's have retarded timing at idle to lower emissions. It also lowers torque, too. I don't want to get rid of the retard completely, but I think if you shim the retard stop in the vacuum cell with the right thickness of stock, you can improve idle torque significantly and still retain good emissions to pass the tailpipe test. The improved torque should cut the idle droop under load significantly. Shouldn't take much like a few thousandths. Apparently, some distributors had adjustable retard vacuum stops, but the 205 series we have doesn't seem to have them. Might be possible to retrofit an adjustable cam stop to a 205 vacuum cell and get that function.
