Update.......
Checked voltage on the battery at 2500RPM. Got almost 18V. Replaced old Delco Remy 515 with a NAPA part. Rechecked and now maxes out at 14.4 so it looks like problem identified and solved. Will run the knock off VR for now and take a drive and see if the temp gauge issue is corrected which I am pretty sure it will be.
Plan now is to convert the Delco to electronic down the road.
Thanks for all the good tips and have a great weekend!

Good news, and avoided many other problems down the road. Check your points for pitting if you still use points.

Took a good 30 mile drive today and temp seems to be rock steady. So problem solved.
Will check points to make sure they are ok. Probably are as I have parked it since the problem showed up and drove less than 20 miles.
Thumbs up to all.
