If the battery is in good shape, then no it's not normal. Do you have a battery you can swap in temporarily? If that doesn't fix it, I would make sure the regulator is grounded properly to the body, and the body is grounded to the engine block.
If this is a project that you have been working on for awhile, and the battery sits around and is a little low on charge, then that could cause it.
