The engine (w/generator) needs to be turning at least about 1,600 RPM to discuss the voltage. At that speed voltage at the battery should be at least 14 volts.

I chased a 65-70 mph vibration for quite a while on my GMC. One front tire was somehow defective, although roundness and balance were good. New front tires fixed it.

I have one but it's part of a stash build up a '58 engine which will use the 3-point mounting. There's a shop I use that could make a copy of it. Want me to get a cost estimate?
