Put the meter on the battery. At 5k revs, voltage changes very little, even dips slightly when held at 5k. So I checked the alternator output. Book calls for ~40vAC across the three yellows. "Output voltage much higher...the rectifier is damaged" says the book. Define "much higher." I'm reading ~50vAC. Is 25% high tooooooooo dang high?
