Just curious what the typical volt meter reading is:
1) when you're sitting at the stoplight 2) cruising down the boulevard at 3-4000 rpm Trying to see if I'm seeing typical or low readings Thanks I just recently noted a low charging issue that I believe came down to an alternator/voltage regulator mismatch. I was using a Bosch VR with my Motorola alternator. Now I've switched to a Marchal VR and the charging voltages look better. About 13.75 volts while cruising. |
