Likely poor connections in the electrical system. Drop a quarter volt here, a quarter volt there and eventually they add up. But I didn't feel like explaining how to use a voltmeter to look for small drops at each connection.


As I said above "that's how GM did it". They wouldn't have wasted a few cents (in 1972) on 6 feet of wire for a sense line under the dash. And they could have eliminated the T2 connector and just internally connected T2 to the output lug. Wait! They did that at one point. It was called a one wire alternator.
