Charges...but barely
I just bought an 81 F-100 Custom with a 300-6, and auto tranny, 2WD. I notice that the headlights are more yellow than white. They illuminate the road OK, but I think they should be brighter. I put a meter on the battery terminals while she is running, 13.9V. I then turn the lights on and the voltage drops to 12.4V. Once I turn the lights back off, the voltage climbs slowly back to 13.9. Now this tells me that it's charging, but I was expecting more around 14.7 volts. Am I a worry wart, or is this maybe an indication of impending doom?
