Dimming lites etc.:

How old is the battery (with details)????
Has a diagnostics test been run on the generator (as per service manual).
Check BODY to frame/engine ground strap.
Usualy after about 35 or 30 years in normal daily service nearly any vehicle will need to have ALL terminal connexions cleaned to shiny metal (no tarnish allowed).

Simply throwing an alternator at the problem mite fix it temroarily asa band-aid type fix. But the real problems will only get worse, unless of course it's just the generator that is bad.
