Alternator?????????

What would make my voltage gauge go up and down and make the temp gauge go up when I turn the headlights on and off?Need to run a lead straight from the alternator to the battery and skip the junction block on the side of the radiator?I know the voltage gauge will drop if the lights get turned on...but making the temp. gauge needle go to the right???Hmmm...any advice...maybe in the coil,ign. module?....HELP!!!!

I don't know, but mine seems to make power sometimes and then not at all others

I think it's because of the wiring harness that goes into it being kinda worn. Does anyone know of anything I can stick in there to make the contacts a little tighter or to fill the gap?
