allright fellas, I have a 68 pickup that seems to hate having its headlights turned on! The truck will sit in idle very good, but as soon as I turn the headlights on, the darn truck turns off!!

I replaced my dimmer switch because I seen that the wires where it connects to the switch were melted, thinking this would cure my problem, but no way. Could it be the headlight switch? what do you guys think? think I need another alternator?
