So was noticing I have less voltage while the car is running. I am use to seeing 13/14 volts as the pretty much normal. I have a fairly new marchel alternator and this year I am seeing 13v on the high side. Now I do have more electrical items, wide band o2, mega squirt, and active exhaust. Regulator going bad? Pictured in upper left. Hmm maybe I have them on the wrong pins? Might have messed that up?

Where are you taking the voltage reading from? If it's the standard center console gauge, it's normal for it to read low. And change a lot depending on the electrical load on the system, particularly turn signals and such.
