I'm sure someone has had this happen. When cruising to work in the early morning I can tell my lights (headlights and corner lights) kinda pulse dim and bright. The generator light isn't affected, and I don't have a center console with gauge so I can't tell what volts I have. If someone has had this experience let me know what the outcome was. It's a 75 2.0
Thanks
Chris

Yep voltage regulator.

Had it happen to me last summer. Luckly I had a spare volvo one on hand to keep driving that day.

edit:Come to think of it I've had the nut holding the lead to the alt. back-off

You might try there too.
