No load battery voltage....

my truck is still giving me starting issues. fuel system is fine now.

still running a points distributor so, what should my battery be registering, at no load, cold. I'm getting 12.2 but I'm thinking that not enough.

I know, I need someone to crank while I put a meter on the battery...... the battery gauge in the truck shows right in the middle during cranking, but that doesn't mean a lot.

Anyone have an idea what voltage a points set up needs to function. On my old Triumph bikes, that I went to electronic ignition, I had to have at least 14 volts registering on the battery, cold or it would not start.....

thanks, sorry for a stupid question
