Yes.. bizarrely..it was reading 12.1 volts for a while ...I took the battery out and charged...and still alternator low voltage.

After checking voltage at alternator end, and bulkhead..it bizarrely seemed to get better..I think I may have had a marginal connection at alternator..and my probing may have helped..I'll keep an eye out...
