Cleaned all 3 grounds, they were clean anyway, and found lotsa corrosion on the fat white wire. clipped out the bad spot and reattached to the alternator.

Still does it, just not as badly. Any more ideas?
Well, I doubt it's ignition related because you are getting the flickering dash lights. That is a sign of a charging problem. If it were ignitino related, you wouldn't get any flickering dash lights. If the problem was reduced when you sanded down all of your grounds, i'm still leaning towards a charging problem. Check your battery fuse and make sure it's good and of the proper amperage. If that checks out, i'd check the output on your alternator to see if it's outputting the right current/voltage. If not, you may need to replace your alternator.
