My books indicate 13.8 to 14.2v is what to expect when the alt is at its
maximum output of 34 amps at 6000 rpm (or 3400 rpm in a different section),
at nominal output the regulated voltage is 14.3 to 14.7v. FWIW the dynamo
control box settings are higher than this, ranging from 14.3 to 15.5v
depending on ambient temperature.
