Just curious.....what should the VOLTS display read on a 1996 LT1...........Thanks
 
depends on the state of your battery.


After start it'll jump to 14 to 16, then drop to 13.4.
 
Upon startup it needs to be a little over 14. At idle with accessories running it may dip into the high 12s (lights, AC, radio, etc), when warm.

Another thing, never trust the in-car gauge, you need to put an external meter on the battery to check it.

Mine is off by .6 V.
