Joe,
    Take your alternator to a rebuild shop and have it checked.  I think you
will find one or two diodes that have gone bad.  They can replace them and
have you back on the road in no time.

Subject: [alfa] GTV-6 voltage drop

Long story short:  When my engine is running at 2000RPM with no
accessories on, I see 14.5V at the battery; When cooling fans,
aircon, and headlights are on, I see 12.5V.

Even at higher revs, there's a significant votlage drop when I turn
on the headlights for example.  --what's going on
here?  Is my alternator shot?

Thanks,
