Re: Alternator or battery problem or what?

I was kind of wondering the same thing.  Although my red alt. light 
never comes on I have about a 2 volt drop when I apply the brake lights 
or heater fan.  So I bought one of those radio shack alternator battery 
testers and it said my alternator output was marginal.  I began to think 
though, the leds on that thing were probably calibrated to 50 amps or so 
for modern day cars, not my Lucus 35 amps.

Does anyone know the peak voltage those alternators should put out?
