New regulator and vola- runs like a top again.

If the alternator is not functioning properly with a near 14.0 voltage the low voltage does effect drivebility and performance. regulator with worn bushes is one possible fault.
The tensioner on my 103 engine went bad leading to a loose running serpentine belt . This broke the carbon bushes due to jerky running of the slipping alternator. Replacing the tensioner and the regulator had a remarkable difference in the engine performance . Smooth and very responsive engine
