ALTERNATOR OUTPUT

DVO said

When I checked the output of my alternator it read 26 volts. Is that in the correct range as it seems a little high? Amp gauge reads high when idling and maxed out when going down the road. I have replace the bulkhead connector due to alternator wire melting it. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Sumptin's wrong.
In the other thread I thought you posted 26 amps. (my mistake, guess it was because that thread was about power output)
Tell us how you are measuring this; at the alternator, at the battery, a cigerate lighter gage?
and whatever you know about the alternator and voltage regulator.
