1970 gtx, 440ci, stock alternator, volt regulator, coil, etc, distributor does not have points any longer (aftermarket but not sure which one).. starts and runs good, but is 14.5-14.8vt normal when above idle at highway speed?
at idle i see 12.8-13vt, rev it and jumps to 14.5 or so volts. let off and back to 900rpm idle it slowly drops back to 13vt or so. turn lights on stays same, but after it runs a bit vt stays around 14.5 or so (using a good quality volt meter at the battery terminals not relying on the dash gauge)
Is this normal?
