Probably prudent to check the alternator output first. The following info is from the CARDISC CD Alfa service manual:

Disconnect the wire from the B+ terminal on the alternator.

Connect a voltmeter between the B+ terminal and ground. Start engine. Should read 12-13 volts with engine running.

Connect ammeter between B+ terminal and battery + terminal. Reading should be 20-30 amps.

Agree with others that all connections need to be checked clean and tight. Check especially the grounds. Might also check for any wire chafing around movable items, like brake and clutch pedals.
