big volts

I admit to being "auto electrically" disabled!! LOL yes I have the FSM.

earlier today i did the " full field" test. it showed no increase in volts.... the clip at the alt field terminal must have moved up against the case.?? I took the alt to town, to parts store, tested good, came back home and did the test twice more, all tests read charging very well.

so at this point I have cleaned all bulkhead terminals, new V R, fully charged battery. I did pickup a new starter relay, but did not have time to put it on, but I did warm the engine good and tested volts key on,,,, and running, this is what I found:

KEY ON:batt.12.7..... ballast 6.2, 11.3,........ vr 11.7, 11.8

running; BATT 12.4,...... BALLASt 9, 12 .....ALT BIG POST 13.0..... VR 12.1, 12.2, alternator 13.0

readings at coil key on + was 6.3 and ---- was .1

at coil running + 9.5 and ------ 6.8

one thing I really need is what are the normal volts at all points both key on, running, and ign 2 when I'm trying to trouble shoot a non runner. i'm always trying to piece a roller back together.

since the old VR was grounded very good and the engine grounds are cleaned and grounded in 3 places. and the body of VR was showing 6-7 volts, I have to feel it needed replaced, it looked plenty old. the starter relay looks plenty old too, but does start the car easy.

I never want to just throw parts at them, but just what is needed!

I do appreciate everyone that try to help my electrical problems.
