C3 Alternator Gauge

I bought a 73 with 80k on it a few months ago. I have been noticing
that the alternator gauge "bounces" or moves a lot. When i am running
at higher rpm's the jitter seems to get better but is still there very
slightly. The gauge is always in the plus range but I also notice when
the head lamps are on the interior dash lamps seem to flitter a little
bit. Is this the alternator or the battery? It seems as though the car
is running off the alternator and not the battery. Is this normal for
the vette? Any ideas? Thanks

LOL:

It will not take long for any new owner of an older Corvettes to learn
that 110 percent of electrical problems in these cars is a ground
that went on vacation...
