Walt---It depends a lot if the "under 12V" is seen with the headlights
on, and the engine idling. I recall my Lucas alternator dropping below
13V at idle in like circumstances, but would eventually creep back to
14V at speed. It bugged me so much that the turn signals wouldn't blink
some of the time, unless I raised the rpms, that when it was time to
relace the alternator, I went with the Delco.
