Good question about the regulator sending different voltages.

No, the type 'A' uses the green to regulate the ground. If that were the case, you wouldn't have any output from the alternator. You're definitely using the right type because the green is sending power out to the brush.Not sure if its the wrong type or could that cause the weird low readings.
Agreed. I'm drawing a blank as to why it's low. But being low won't hurt anything as long as the alternator keeps the battery charged... and 14.2v will more than do that.the Voltage to the Reg is good (same battery voltage) it should produce at least 12 Volts out the other side on the green.
Those I've dealt with are just glorified switches... fast acting... but either on or off.Does the Reg operate by just turning on and off or does it actually increase or decrease the voltage
I'm suspecting it is. Bob is also running a VR-115 and he's gonna check his for us. If we get 3 out of 3, I'm gonna jump out on a limb and call it normal.I just tested my green wire voltage output at idle and got the same as you, a bit over 10 volts. I'm guessing that's normal then?
