Note that 170v is standard AC sinusoidal ‘peak’ voltage that relates to 120v which is RMS... Perhaps check your instrument settings...

Thank you all for the great advice. I wish there were "like" buttons for posts. You all are great.
I am also contacting Flight Systems soon.

3 tons what? no light bulb for a meter? maybe a true rms meter?

Light bulbs with tungsten filaments are a thing of the past.
Nasty when high voltages popped them and broke the glass.
What did work but hard to find is neon light bulbs.

UPDATE
I followed this video for testing.
MEASURING YOUR GENERATOR WINDINGS
I then called Flight Systems with the results.
They are so helpful.
Pins 9 and 10 test was not good.
I've got new brushes and springs coming plus I need to shine up the rings.
Chances are my regulator is damaged they said by the fluctuations from the brushes not making good contact.
That video is very helpful.

Hint: Use only FLINT PAPER on slip rings. Other materials embed abrasive particles in the copper wildly accelerating graphite brush deterioration. Brush contact to chassis ground resistance should not affect a 30 megohm reading. Disconnected from load the same is true for stator lead tests.
