65 Coronet no longer charging well

["N. L. Devotie" <noble_leslie_devotie@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have an aftermarket voltage gauge that has already read on the order of 14 volts.  Last week it started reading 11.  Today, I had a dead battery.  How can tell which of the components in this path are bad?  I'm guessing I have, as possible points of failure, the alternator, voltage regulator, some mysterious wiring issue, something else.  Could a bad battery cause this?  What steps should I take to narrow things down?  Any advice appreciated.
