The sensitivity on those gauges vary from year to year and make and model, some of needles in my mid 80's trucks wouldn't even move but I had a 1968 Dart that the needle was always flopping all over the place especially with a turn signal on
The 68 Dart had a mechanical voltage regulator, it flops as a somewhat normal course of it's operation. You can adjust them to cure most of it but there is usually a slight amount. That's why the electronic version of that style regulator is popular. The later type, such as the 80's trucks had, does not do that, normally.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
