- 1976 CJ5 258. MC2150 carb, PSC steering, Team Rush upgrade, 1 piece rear axles, all electronics relayed. Coming soon: Herculined tub, camo paint- and a bunch of filthy, muddy kids!
edit: sorry guys, 76' AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l .
My alternator likes to stay around 12v after start up, occaisionally it stays there but usually after a little revving or driving it goes up to around 14, sometimes it just stays there. Hooked up my DVM to it while idleing, driving or revving and get the same reading so the gueage is right. All connections under the hood are new and/or clean.
Alternator going bad? Is there a way to safely test the alt at home?
