My money is on a ground wire that has rusted out of it's connection to the body somewhere... maybe the ground for the headlights??...

another possibility might be the small wire going to the alternator has worn off some insulation and grounded to the alternator housing... this can cause strange electrical symptoms...

I don't have my electrical manual with me (it's for an '86 anyway) but someone might be able to tell you where the potential problem grounds are.
