RE: alternator

["Ben Jr. Morgan" <polara_hotrods@xxxxxxx>]

Well in my experience the stock alternators will not have more than 12 volts 
at the battery at idle (this may not always be true) but will charge to more 
than 14 volts with a good rev. If it does nothing at all, then you have a 
problem.  You can tell easily what is wrong by doing a "full field" test. 
You ground the negative wire at the back of the alternator, and watch your 
voltmeter on the battery. It should fly up to 16+ volts, if this is the 
problem, then you have a bad regulator on the firewall. If not, the 
alternator is bad.
