So this is better than it was but I feel that it is still not quite as
good as it should be.  While I had the battery out I took the
opportunity to clean up the ground strap's connection to the frame.  I
did the same with the tranny-to-chassis ground strap.  I also noticed
that there is some significant corrosion on the terminals at the wiring
harness plug to the altnernator and also on the male spade terminals on
the alternator.  Since, however, these terminals are recessed into the
body of the altnerator and the females are inside a plug, I don't know
that there's much I can do about cleaning them.  I feel though that this
corrosion could be causing part of the problem. Any ideas on what I can
do about it?

Sean  I use a product made in "the father land" by Wurth and sold in the U.S.
called (conatact OL solvent). You spray it on wires and connectors and
corrsion goes away. Usually in just a few seconds.
