I have two questions about my 69 camaro electrical system. I read the electrical basics page on external regulated system and my cars regulator doesn't match. With the key off its the same but with the key on engine off the numbers are as follows.
number 1 blue 4.24v
number 2 white .002v
number 3 orange 12.74v
number 4 brown 4.26v
alt blue 4.16v
key on engine not running should read
alt blue 10.5v
4th term on reg, 12v
no other changes
I have put all new wiring in the car and changed the points to the crane electronic conversion and it doesn't run very good. I'm thinking it could be electrical. The other question is on the batt + side of the coil with the engine running it reads 13 to 14 volts. I was told it should read 12 volts only when the car is starting and 9 volts when car is running. I hope someone could tell me if that is correct and what the problem could be with the regulator. Thanks, Chris
