Before you spend the money on a new alternator, check the terminations on your battery cables at the battery and at the frame/block ground. Make sure that they are CLEAN and tight. Check the cables themselves for corrosion near the terminals/lugs making sure that the copper is bright and not grey or black. A bad connection or corroded wire can cause the problems you are describing.
