Sorry, let me clarify my original post a little. Two months ago, I was having a no charge problem with this car. After trying multiple things, like different (used) alternators, voltage regulators, and making sure that all of the dash light bulbs worked, I was finally able to get 14v at the battery post, car running, headlights on. My stepson drove it for about 2 months, and now it is not charging again. Approx. 12.5 at the post, engine running, nothing turned on. like lights, fan, etc.

I just had knee surgery, so I am not able at this time to answer any of the other questions yet, like what is the cranking voltage, and running voltage at the battery post, with everything turned on. I am going to have someone help me this Sunday with the car, and at that time, I will report back with the requested info. and more. Thanks!
