voltmeter working right?

I noticed in my 86 IROC that my voltmeter read just under 13. Is this where it should be? I can't remember what the gauge read before. If anyone could give me some info on this, I would appreciate it.

When you’re at 1000 RPM the meter should be at approximately 14.

You can test it by plugging a test meter into the lighter socket.

Happy Racing!

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!

Re: Meter Maid

The needle bounced back up to about 14 ish suddenly when I turned my lights, heater, radio on to draw on the alternator. The way it acted, I think the gauge was acting up.
