Not charging

All right,, My car battery went dead while driving... The car is not charging because I had the battery recharged and it bearly got me home before it went dead again.. if you disconnect the battery while the car is running it will turn off,,,what can it be? Generator, alternator, regulator.. Need some advice.. How do I check this ?

PS... it's a 1990 v8 5.0

Ya, It sounds as if der alternator ist KAPUT! Jawohl Mein Herr!! Loved that Autobahn cruising before they implemented their new speed laws. 3 years at Bitburg and 2 at Norvenich. Also loved the food, the wine, the food, the beer, the food.

This was back in the earlier "70's when it was drive as fast as you dare only stay out of the way of the faster drivers or you're roadkill. Loved them days.
