Well, after a long delay in getting hold of a pulley to fit the new alternator, it's installed. I'm seeing between +13.9 - +14.02volts at the battery with the engine running - is this normal? Should it not be approx. +14.6v?
The ignition warning light extinguishes properly, so I'm assuming I've wired it all correctly. If it were wrong the light wouldn't behave properly - anyone?
Thanks
