If your regulator is working properly, this may well
indicate a ground problem for the whole system. Make sure your battery
cable ground is clean on the battery and is against metal (not paint or grease)
on the other end. Also make sure you have the engine ground strap which
typically on a Chrysler product is from the pass. side cyl. head to the
firewall.
On my '69 Coronet beyond the above I had to put in
a headlight relay to get my lights fully up as the factory had routed too
much length of wire through the headlamp and dimmer to get to them.
They were only receiving 10.2 volts! Which points up also the fact
that old switches cause power losses too. The easy one to replace is
the dimmer switch because it is very universal. The hard one is the
dash headlamp switch for which NOS will be rare and pricey.
