D dniksich New Member May 10, 2020 13 0 1 Indiana Oct 16, 2020 #1 Oct 16, 2020 #1 Got a 69 302 that's charging over 20 volts at idle! So high that my multimeter goes off the scale when set to 20volts. Even with a load on the system. Just put a new solid state regulator on it with no change. Any ideas on what I can check next? TIA
