Are you talking all of the time or just at idle? I had the problem at idle. It was a few wires on my alternator. I had to clean everything up and crimp a few new wires and it has been pulse free since that day.

my 76 f-150 did that for the longest time....all the electronics would pulse..lights..stereo..voltage guage...had my voltage regulater tested and they said it was good...changed it anyways and whalaa!! no more pulsing..i think the regulator was fixing to go bad or was just partly faulty...they dont cost much...so if its not the problem u have a back up just in case...

Do you mean the flickering?
That's because the Voltage reg doesn't kick in until about 850 Rpm.

I had the same problem. I used a newer electronic reg which seems to have fixed the problem. Mine would cut out the stereo up to about 3000 RPM.
