MG Midget and Sprite Technical - voltage

hi all,
65 midget with dynamo and neg earth. fitted elec ign, one which i have used before on other cars with no probs. car went for about 8-10 miles then died. no spark,fitted points back and away it went.on the trouble shooting list it says possible explanation is over charging. what type of readings should i be getting from battery terminals on tickover and on revving the engine and how do i adjust.
thanks bob.

Between about 12 and 14v, depending on revs.

It can be adjusted in the voltage regulator. Probably best to cjeck the workshop manual for that.
