Just  made the round trip twice this time. No lights, radio etc except  
the  components for engine operation. The results were the same. I  
could  see a steady decline in voltage at the battery until at 35 to 40  
M P  H the battery was reading 12.4 v to 12.6 v.  The maximum it   
reached was a constant 13.9 v, though I did see some spikes at 14 v   
for less than 2 seconds early on.



Sounds like the VR is bad. You need 14.1 to 14.6 volts at medium rpms for  
FI. 
I just went thru this last summer on my 71 Notch.
