I was going to Dremel off the edge of the brushes that was actually contacting the commutator to allow more surface to be utilized, but I went ahead and reinstalled it the way it was, and this time the voltage slowly climbed to 13.2 while revved, where it topped off. I'm thinking that the brushes may seat into the worn commutator and start charging at the full 13.7 or 14 volts if I drive it a while. Since it's not actually discharging I should be able to drive it.

My idiot lights are glowing, but less now, and go almost completely out when I rev it off of idle. More to come later.
