Question Should/Can I drive my car like this?

My car is an 86 Carrera.

I replaced the alternator with a rebuilt one... however when the lights are on and the car revs over 1500 RPM, the Alternator Light starts to glow. It glows very dimly and gets progressively brighter as the RPMs increase.

Today, I replaced the battery with a brand new one from Auto Zone, however the problem still remains: Alt Light Goes on at Revs when lights are on.

This is my daily driver vehicle.... and I am scheduled to drive 100+ miles on Tuesday and 250+ miles on Wednesday.

I will not be able to get a replacement alternator until the end of the week.

Is there any potential to damage my car, or have the car die when it is in this condition? Id hate to be stranded again....

Thanks...
