I had this problem with my 1989 caprice. The voltage was so high it was blowing the headlight bulbs. I changed the alternator but the problem did not go away. Turns out the alternator senses system voltage with a separate wire going from the starter to the alternator. There is an inline connection on this wire about 2 inches from the starter. This connector was corroded on the inside creating a high resistance. I replaced the connector and the problem went away. You can buy there connectors at any auto parts store for a few bucks. You may need a special tool to strip the wire and crimp the connector. Should not cost more than $20. Check all the connectors on the wires going to the starter. Give them a good pull to see if they are good on the inside. This was 15 years ago and I don't remember the color of the wire.
