Relative to battery light showing on dash when the 560 was operating with the headlights on. After the change the voltage improved to 13+ and the light no longer showed with the headlights on.

so, I finally got time to change the voltage regulator because while it LOOKS LIKE you can change it without at least loosening the alternator, you definitely can't. or I couldn't anyway. thankfully, I was able to loosen it enough to get to the VR without taking the whole thing off.

up until this point, I was using the cigarette lighter thing to see where the battery was at. around 12 volts with the car idling, would go up to around 13.6 during acceleration/normal driving, but never above that. I sprayed some WD40 on it (because that worked nicely with mine) and got it to go up to 14 once, but definitely needed new regulator as you can see by the picture.

so now, I'm going to put it back together and hope we're good.
