Upcomming electrical problem???
 
While doing routine maintainence this last weekend on my 87 944, I decided to clean the battery terminals. After I was done, I hooked up my DMM to check voltage. Battery had 12.8vdc with engine off. This looked good. Fired the car up and it had only 13.8vdc at idle. I then revved it. Still 13.8. Flipped the DMM around so I could see it in the car and went into the car and started turning on accessories, lights, ac, etc. Still 13.8vdc at idle and at cruise speed.

I thought I should see in the neighborhood of 14.2-14.6 volts. Now I do not seem to have any electrical problems. I can leave the car sit for weeks and she fires right up, no dim lights, etc.

Just questioning.

Get an adjustable regulator then you can set it at 14.2 vdc.
