I have a 94 GT and when I sit at a stop light w/ my headlights on and the ac or any of the accessories going my ampmeter takes a serious dive to the left. I have under drive pullies. This problem has ruined my battery and makes it hard to start in the morning and I have to get a jump in order for it to start. Would jumping up to a 200 amp altinator fix this? Any advice would be great. THANKS!

Being that you have a 94, which is the alternator most people upgrade to, I'd suspect a problem with your current alternator.

Agreed sounds like your alternator is going bad. I would suggest having the charging system tested to find out what is going on.
