    What should an alternator charge at?

    Before I go spastic trying to remove this last bolt that wont budge on the alternator. What should it be charging at? Currently at idle its 12.7v and when I rev it it drops to around 12.2v.

    At idle, most charging systems should produce 13.8 to 14.3 volts
