Battery resting should settle at about 12.5 and while cranking, no less than 10 volts but closer to 10.5 and up is best.

Pulled alternator off same day anyway so didnt ever check. But took to 2 different autobones to run it on the testing bench and it failed at both locations. Coaxed them into testing a brand new alternator just to prove to me it wasn't a rigged machine for auto fails.

Didnt run it off my truck, just left the jump box on the batt. Once we did so the car idled much better and started a hell of a lot easier. So i dont think the voltage issue is the problem, more of something that just had to be fixed.
Stock injectors were put in last night, alternator arrived today. Plan of attack is toss in tonight.
