Make sure your regulator is grounded well. Take a small wire and hook it under one of the regulator mounting bolts and then run it to the neg of the battery.

What is the condition of the battery? The battery is responsible for filtering out the rest of the ripple from your alternator. If it's near old age, you might also consider replacing it.
