I wasn't sure how much "bang" my engine could handle after almost 260k miles. Test drove, feels way better. I wasn't sure about where you said on the alternator to hook the multimeter, I just saw to connectors/plugs.
So I put one on the pos terminal and one on a ground. It read 14 volts at a warm idle. Then just for SnG's I turned my headlights on and checked again.
It read 12.8, and steadily dropped from there to around 12.6-12.5 before I turned my lights off. After which it quickly rose back to 14.

Yes, the positive connection on the alternator w/ the cute little red rubber cover...to ground. I show 14.7 V.
