It might have been something that simple AndROOS - although if there's that much spky noise coming from the alt itself it might indocate that the slip rings are a bit sad... (reco required)
Although here's another pretty simple one that I should've suggested before - have a look at the chassis ground cable - the one going from the negative battery terminal to the CHASSIS. (NOT the block) In most cases it's a relatively thin-ish cable as compared with your main power feed to the amp, plus it's often attached to the chassis in a spot which can get a lot of enviromental "crap" on it. This hurts two ways - a thin cable to start with (any current that flows from the positive terminal has to also appear at the negative one...), and it can become corroded and poorly conductive at the contact point. Try firstly locating the ground on the chassis and remove the bolt. Scrub the chassis metalwork, the bolt, and the terminal with a wire brush to brighten them up, give them a squirt of WD 40 and reassemble - might help a little, and definitely won't hurt!
