Hi Leeann;
I have the same issue w/my '77 440:3 different regs and all charge @ 14.7-14.9 and appear to boil the battery. I haven't made an extended run for the 3 months since I've discovered this. Did your NC run boil the battery and do any damage? Checked and cleaned all connections, inspected wiring and everything looks fine. I never checked the charge voltage prior to the failure of the previous regulator so I can't say what it's output was, but I can't imagine it was that high w/o battery damage. If you find a remedy please post and I'll do the same.
No, fortunately it hasn't boiled the battery or damaged it. We haven't yet gotten to taking everything apart, replacing wire, etc. yet but will this weekend.
If we figure it out, I'll let you know.
