About the same as the MGA.  Put the voltage probe directly on the output
terminal of the generator, not on the big battery cable.  You can adjust
the regulator for about any voltage you want, but don't push it too high.
15.5 to 16.0 volts tops at the generator should do quite nicely.  If you're
more into long trips and not too much puttering arlund town, 15.0 volts is
enough, and just might help your battery bubbling problem.
