My question on where you were measuring was in reference to "I have a new 14.1V regulator, BTW, and dont see 14.1V... "

Depending on whether you use your car in winter and how cold the winter is, the difference between the two alternators sound pretty significant.
Is the 120A alternator available as a more or less optional, but standard item, or is this an exotic transplant from another vehicle?
