You may check the regulator first. If you're lucky
the brushes are just tired(short).

  >'90 200 tqa, while driving this morning my volts
  went very low. On the analog guage, below the 12v
  mark, and 10+ - on the climate control read-out.
  > Measured volts with a Digital Fluke Meter at the
  cigarette lighter and at the battery read about 1v
  higher, almost 12v.
  >Revving the engine doesn't seem to produce
  charge.
  >Another obsevation, in the instrument cluster the
  water temp, oil temp and fule guage were reading
  noticibly lower than normal.
  >My direction is to look at the alternator first.
  Any other BTDT will be appreciated.
