could be voltage regulator or sometimes the alternators from the store are bad best thing to do is have them test it before you leave the store or even purchase it you should look for a problem outside the alternator. if you replaced it with a decent rebuilt or new and are still having problems check the battery, battery cables and your ground cables. Make sure your battery is secure and nothing can short across the terminals. This can burn out the regulators. Check your belt tension as well if it is loose the alternator pully might not spin properly.

before you do anything with the alternator, make sure to unplug the battery. Then unplug the cables going into the alternator. There should be two. For the belt there is an engine part called a pulley - lift the pulley upwards to loosen the belt and take it off the alternator. Next you can unscrew the bolts attaching the alternator and take it out.

Why is your voltage warning light flickering -- and does it have anything to do with your 1986 Pontiac 6000 stalling once in a while only 65000 km on it?
Sounds like the Diode or the Voltage Regulator is going out on the alternator. I would recomend replacing soon. When one of those 2 componets go out, it really over heats the alternator. This causes the bearings on the back side of the alternator to fail, and sieze. This has cause some fires in GM cars and trucks.
