Larue,
Sorry for the lack of details. As mentioned, I am on my back after knee surgery, or I would give more details. I probably spent 20 +or- hours searching on the BB and the TB on my charging problem with this car two months ago, thought I had it fixed, and now it is not charging again. I will provide more info. on Sunday when I have someone to work on the car. I will then report voltages under various conditions.

The main reason for my post was to see if a bad battery will show 14v at the post while running. I guess I just kind of highjacked my own thread by adding the reasons for my inquiry.

Mr. Bob,
Yeah, a battery is definitely in the cards, especially with winter coming on. Money is a problem for him right now, or I would have told him to just replace it to eliminate that as a possible problem.
