Nick,

It sounds to me like you are sucking up air in the fuel tank and thats 
where the "bucking" is coming from. Do you notice this happens more with a 
half a tank or less? Is the suction hose inside the tank the original one 
thats known for collapsing? Thats the first place I would look for the fuel 
problem.

And about the alternator. Maybe the belt is loose and when shifting gears or 
slowing down, the lower RPMs of the engine is making the alternator not turn 
as fast and if the belt is loose then the belt will be slipping off the 
alternator pulley causing the voltage will drop. Do you notice the belt 
squealing at all? Hope that helps at all.

Later,
