Weak charging?

[William K Denton]

Steve,

Charge the battery to at least 12.6v and then do an alternator output test. 
With a multimeter connected to the battery terminals you should be getting 
14.2-14.8v at 4K rpm.  Less than 14.2v and you may have a problem (dirty 
connections, alternator brushes, etc).  More than 14.8v and you'll need to 
replace the regulator.

For convenience, use the starter relay terminal for the Pos (+) connection 
on the tester when you check the charging system.

Do you have a shop manual?
