i have a 1996 camaro with 108000 miles. ever since i bought it the battery guage is almost in the over charging area and the needle bounces back and forth. when my lights r on they dim in and out with the movement of the needle. its doing it a lot more lately, to the point that my idle is dancing with the lights and guage.

Have you had your alternator tested?

If you haven't, start there. Most major auto part stores such as AutoZone will test it for free. While you are there, go ahead and test the battery and make sure your battery terminals are tight and free of any corrosion.
