  Quick questions. I have 66 Malibu BB. While running at idle the battery is charging at approx 17Vdc. I have a Delco Remi with external regulator. I worry that this is too much and don't want to damage new battery

   

  . I also have a electrical short I just can't seem to find. With battery disconnected and the key out I find a resistance of around 20 Ohms, indicating a closed circuit or short.  I have pulled all of the fuses and taps but can't get the short isolated. 

  Any ideas or recommendations greatly appreciated as always.
