[Shotimes] Looking for parts...

[Erik Balser]

Speaking of charging voltage...what is a "normal" SHO supposed to charge at
while running? I was getting something like 14.6 or 14.7 I believe.. I've
been having intermittent battery light problems.  Battery is new.  The light
usually comes on when I put the pedal to floor for quick acceleration.  Was
thinking of a loose connection but everything seems tight.  But the battery
light has come on just under normal idle, when the battery was charging
under the above voltages.  Could the alternator being going south? Please
say no... I want my SHO to behave... Thanks
