Had the same idle drop on my 81 245. The base idle had to be adjusted. I'm a little concerned about all the stuff your mechanic replaced. Did he/she know that each item had to be replaced or were they just guessing that that item was the problem? I have a guy who works on mine and he has 26 years of experience. He only replaces things that he knows are bad. He analyzes the problem rather than throwing new parts at it. There's an old phrase, "Test, don't guess". Don't get discouraged. At 175000 miles, there are a lot of things that need replaced on any car. And once yours is straightened out, it will be better than any 'sob' (some other brand) out there.
