Bought my Vette 2 years ago. It is an 84 with 47k
When I got it, the alternator (Regulator) was bad. It was charging up to 16-19 volts. So I replaced it.
Recently when I drive the vette, after driving around town it will not start. Let me explain. All the power accessories work. Cooling fan runs, Dash lights up, etc. Voltage shows 11. something volts. When I put a jump start to it or a battery charger, it starts right up. So I think it is not the starter. (Starter does not kick in, not even a click, the dash lights dim a bit)
When running down interstate, it shows 13.4 volts (Maximum)
So my question is, what do other owners of around this year vette show on their volt indicator? ( I may have a weak alternator)
When you go to start your vette after warm and the fans are running, what volt do you show (Without engine running)?
FYI I put a Optima Red top in 6 months ago, Should not be a battery.
Any input would be appreciated!
