Ok, I mentioned this months ago...

Look in your Bentley manual wiring diagrams...when I added a voltage gauge
to my 16v, I hooked it to the wire behind the fuse box which was labeled
'VOLTAGE GAUGE' in the Bentley wiring diagram.  Clever huh? :-)

I was running 13.5 volts. I upgraded my grounds, starter, and alternator 
lines with massive cables, now I run 13.8 volts solid.  No flicker or 
wavering.  Just a bit of a decrease if I run the lights.
