My alt is putting out over 15v but less than 16v at the back stud on it. Is this to much as I have a MSD ignition and do not want to cook anything.. I do have a voltage regulator on the car and it is new.. Just don't want to mess things up.

I have a ground from the block to the frame and the battery is in the trunk and the ground there is to the frame also.
This is the voltage on the stud at the back of the alternator before it goes into the car to the regulator.

As said likely the reg. What is the sense voltage at the reg & I'm assuming the reg case is grounded well. Batt cables of adequate gauge? Recent problem or from day 1 since built? EDIT batt fully charged & batt is good?

I agree with RR.Check the batt and the ground at the reg.Also check the volts at the batt as suggested.Rocky

Thanks everyone.. I will try that. As far as I know it was from the PO... I just got the car last month and I am trying to get it back on the road again.
