All of the voltage that goes back to the battery goes through the amp gauge. It is hard to get an accurate reading on that gauge and many owners have installed a shunt across the back of the gauge to get it to stop jumping around. Changing over to an electronic voltage regulator is an improvement over the original mechanical regulator. These cars have grounding problems that can be repaired by just cleaning all of the grounding points. One of the main offenders is the qround that is attached under the dash on the drivers side. It seems that the grounding attachment is bolted to a stud that is painted. Cleaning the paint off of the contact point is a big help. The fuse box is a major weak link in the electrical system and the old ceramic fuses don't seem to allow enough voltage to pass through them. The fuse holders don't seem to make good contact either and that can cause many problems.
