To really test it I would energize all the electrical consumers, lights,
fans, A/C, 1400W sud-woofers etc.. and THEN measure the voltage at the
alternator. I like to use it's case as ground. Should be > 13.6 volts.
Next move over to the battery posts. On our 85 I measured two volts loss!
With some extra wiring I got that figure under one half a volt.
