I have found that the transients (voltage spikes) generated
by the ignition on my TD, fool my fancy electronic
multimeter. These meters used to be called VTVMs back in the
tube days, later they were called TVMs when they were
transistorized. Now a days they are called DVMs for
digital voltmeter. I get a proper reading with an old non-
electronic (no battery inside) voltmeter.
