Keith,
I tried to go to ATS last week, but they had a couple of hundred "tuners" coming in on Friday and Saturday to use the dyno.

Pete,

I just finished a nearly complete rewiring of the starting system, with all new cables, solenoid, and new connectors. I don't think grounding is a problem. Although that made me think, maybe the lights should be that bright and I have some bad connection somewhere causing voltage loss, or have had a bad voltage regulator for some time, not allowing the alternator to put out full volts (or amps).

What should the Voltage be at the alternator at idle speed. I know on my boat it is about 13.5 volts (14.6 at higher rpm), on the car yesterday I measured 12.3, that seemed low, but it was consistent at several grounding points in the car.

John
