Re: Alternator Question - Adivce please.

I assume that you are referring to a volt meter not an ammeter (since an ammeter measure current flow in amps).

Where are you reading the volts from? With the engine running, the volts at the battery should not be less than the battery (which is 12.2 volts). Ideally, at the battery, the volts should be between 13 and 15 (engine running).

You should also inspect all the battery cables for good tight and clean connections, including the alternator to battery wire.

How do the lights look with the current alternator?

EDIT: A lessor amp alternator should not have hurt anything especially for the short time it was installed.
