Just put in a new voltage regulator, the car is now putting out 15 volts when I rev the engine. Seems like too much? This is on an 81 SC engine.
Anyone have any thoughts? Is this the correct output?
Thanks for your help!
Full Version: What voltage should the alternator make?
13.5 to 14.5 volts is normal.
15 is to much.
yep- new voltage regulator needed. Keep your reciept- I got several that were disfunctional out of the box.
um...didnt somebody do a mod to allow for a solid-state regulator to be used??
Mod? What mod is needed?
Just get the replacement solid-state voltage regulator (Borg-Warner part number R588) at a FLAPS; plug and play.
