Ben,
It sounds like your regulator is giving up the ghost! (sorry, I could not
resist that one!) I would replace the regulator and that should solve the
problem. The last time that I checked, there is a solid state version
available at the parts store. It just may take a while to get the parts
clerk to believe that Datsun existed before the 240Z.............
