i dont really think that you have a weak alternator... maybe add/check grounds, I've read that here multiple times... in my 91, sometimes i can be sitting at say a red light and i see my lights pulse to the alternator... but when i accidently drained the battery the alt. was able to recharge it in i'd say around 5 mins easy...
