Take her out for a drive to warm her up and park with the engine still running. 
Get a friend to hold the throttle at medium RPM while you measure the voltage 
across the battery. It should measure 14.1-14.4V; if it comes up less than 
13.5V replace the voltage regulator with a Bosch 30-019.

If you do the work yourself, remove the battery ground strap first, put it back 
last.
