I recall my original Lucas never showed as high as its replacement Delco number of 14.6v Dick > On Sep 30, 2020, at 2:13 PM, wrote: > > Actually, no they don?t have the facilities. However, I have taken the 2nd alternator to a local auto electric shop where they tested it and it?s only putting out a little over 13 volts which I do not believe is enough.

Almost new battery went dead. Charged battery and took car to shop. Meter shows alternator is not charging battery (only 12 volts, not 14.6 as per Dan Master?s book). Buy rebuilt alternator and the same thing happens. Swap alternator for a second rebuilt unit ? same thing, battery is not being charged. Tried 3 different meters ? all showed 12 volts. Hard to believe I got 2 bad rebuilt alternators.
