<VV> Still having electrical problems / Pulsing lights

[Ron]

I'm really glad to see this discussion as my '63 Rampside with an alternator 
has been doing this for several years.  It doesn't seem to harm anything but 
it is annoying to have the headlights blinking slightly when stopping or 
slowing at night time.
