Early alternator. 

"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car, and oversteer, the rear.
Hp is how fast you hit the wall, and Torque is how far you take the wall with you."

I'm not sure of the dates, '75 I *think*, but they changed from an external to internal regulator at that time.
