hey kinda new to fieros still i just know they got issues lol but i recently repalced my alternator again! and when i was looking at the wiring i had a short so i fixed that problem where the alternator output wire meets by the battery and it seemed to fix the issue but now as im ganing speed and my rpms climb so does my battery guage and i tested it with a voltmeter and sure enough my battery voltage climbs with the rpms not sure if the regulator is already bad or if the output wires may play a role just looking for some help

the alternater should put out around 14 volts until the batteries charged.

Take it off and get it tested.
