1983 300D - Electrical (or what I did to my W123 today)

So, I played with my '83 300D. I am going to post in the follow-up post what all I did, in case you guys are curious; here are my two outstanding issues that I have not figured out yet

- the brake light remains lit, very faintly; it is an LED, so, maybe its just the LED is more sensitive than a regular light bulb will be?

- after I start the motor, the voltage at battery measures 12.7 V *until* i rev the engine up a bit. Then the voltage jumps to 13.8 - 14.0 V. Is that normal, and if not, what's broken? The alternator tested OK (I took it out and took it to Oreilly and they tested on their machine)
