Flickering or pulstating Headlights

Could also be a regulator or the regulator ground (scrape the paint on the firewall where the bolts go through). Could also be the alternator brushes. Try disconnecting the wire on the alternator and ground the brush connection. This will make the alternator go to full charge. Try revving the engine and see if it still flickers. If it does then I would suspect the alternator. If it doesn't then I would checked (as mentioned above) the ground on the regulator and possibly the regulator itself. If all else fails try jumping battery voltage to the "I" (ignition) terminal on the regulator. This is a test that mimics the relay mod. If it works then install the relay. I am here to help if you have questions.

By brush connection on the alt do you mean one of the field wires or the main wire? lol I'm not the best with electrical stuff. I'll try scraping the paint under the regulator first, there's probably corrosion underneath it's been there for a while. Come to think of it I did have a pulsating issue before because I replaced the regulator a few years ago at least and it did nothing. And the alternator is a parts-store reman so... yeaa
