I'm looking at 3 volt meters (dash, old volt meter, new digital meter) and they seem to be reading the same. It is difficult to put leads on the battery while I'm driving.
My plan is to go to the rebuild place and see what they can do. I don't mind the cost I just want the regulation to be correct.
