a) Check alternator belt not slipping.

b) Chassis grounds.  Suspect every brown wire you find.  Also check the 
   bunch of two to four (depending on options) brown wires screwed to 
   the side of the inlet manifold - they tend to suffer fatigue breaks.
   
c) Check alternator brush/controller insert.
