Need some input, I was driving home last night when I noticed that my inside voltmeter was indicating 16 Amps....not good, I had the Alternator changed from it's original about 2 months ago. when I accelerate it will hit 16, when I let off the acceleration it is normal; also until I can put it in the shop on Mon morning is it ok to drive from point A to point B within a 5 mile radius and maybe some resolution to the problem....Thanks

voltmeters read in volts, not amperes, what year is your car, and check the grounds on the alternator

1988....

yah check the grounds
