14.2 volts or amps? If the connector is a full circle it will give a better connection. Perhaps the rest corroded away but you can install a new connector if you want.

Alternator read 14.2 volts, with excessive ripple, with battery drained. I think the battery drained because of poor connection and the alternator was keeping car running until the shut down. Not sure if the alternator has permanent damage.
