Car runs great, I think it is running a tad on the warm side. Also, when it is running warmer than normal around 210 consistently, I notice the Voltmeter goes to max. If I shut it off, it goes back to normal and when I restart the car it stays at around 14 volts but when I rev the motor it runs back up to max again. Any ideas on what would cause that? It just started doing it when the car started running warmer than it was, it used to run at 180 to 190 but now it's up to 210. Anyone know what is going on?

Matt and I just hooked up the VOM to the battery and it confirms that it is jumping to 18 volts when revved up about idle. I sent an email to the guy I got the alternator from as it has a one year warranty on it but he is in Tennessee so I dont think I will hear anything till tomorrow. I just replaced the header gasket with a new one and now my exhaust leak sounds worse, I think I need to change the flange gasket as well.
