electrical:someone has to have had this problem before

86 944 na

while driving: voltage gauge reads about 12, and jumps around frequently(sometimes upto 14 then back down to 12) While at 12 all the gauges(ie:rpm, water temp) bounce around.

If i stop and try to start it, a lot of the time it wont start and just click. Then randomely it will start again and everything will be fine and 5 min later voltage problem again.

I replaced the alternator with a rebuilt one and the problem persists. I just went to get the amperage checked and the alternator is giving off 65, its supposed to give off 115. Did i just get a bad rebuild?

what would cause the alternator to give off less amperage?i checked the grounds on the battery and on the block, should i check the started ground, could that cause the voltage problem?

someone PLEASE HELP i'm stuck
