Default C4 Alternator Question

Vette Pals, I have a 95 Vette. Can I assume that my charging system is working properly if I constantly see over 14 volts on the the gauges?

Thanks, Ken

Should be 13.8 to 14.2, so unless yours is way high you are good to go.
Also, check the digital against the analog gauge to verify it.

14.3 is where mine stays at. You are right where it should be.

What is normal is 14.3 volts cold and drops to 13.3 volts at operating temperature. Even 14 volts all the time is ok.
