Matt,
One thing you might try is to use a jumper wire from the battery to the 
field connection on the alternator, then if the alternator charges steady 
at full output you'll know it's all right. Make sure all the ground 
connections are good and all the wires are in good shape. If you need a new 
regulator, you might consider updating to the newer, solid state kind (it's 
not "correct" but it's a whole lot better).
