power drainage in 84 camaro

I seem to have some kind of power drainage in my 84 camaro. I notice it mostly at night time because of the panel lights. If I am at an idle for example at a stoplight. My panel lights as well as my headlights are real bright, but the minute I hit the gas they dim, not extremely, but it is noticeable. And that again was for both the panel lights and headlights. Any ideas why?

Sounds like a voltage reg problem. Altough, it is usally the other way around. Though, have the charging system checked. AutoZone is one of the best places for this, no charge. ($)
