sounds normal to me. With the amp meter, i would not suggest doing that unless you are familiar with the use of high current ammeters and have good connections. The current put out from an alternator is enough to cause a major engine bay fire, and can really sting if you get in the way of it. This should be left to the very experienced home mechanic, or professional auto lecky. Personally, even after 6 years of home mechanics, working as a mechanic at auto dismantlers and also doing performance upgrades and major vehicle modifications... i wouldnt do this myself because of the risk of injury and fire, and the cost of the ammeter required for the job (need 5 amps more than what the ammeter is capable of putting out... so 40amp for the average 18RC)
If in doubt, see a professional with that one.
