I have a 87 dodge ramcharger and the brake lights

Did your vehicle come with a tow package? If it did, you can crawl under the rear of the vehicle and locate a supplemental wiring harness adapter plugged into both the left and right sides that is used to give you a trailer pigtail. Remove the adapter from both sides and reconnect the wiring harnesses as if there was never an adapter. This may be the cause of your problems.

Engine turns over, but will not give me spark.

first i would make sure that you have 12 volts going to the positive side of the ignition coil with the key in the run position. if you dont have battery voltage at the coil run a jumper wire from the batterys positive side to the positive side of the coil and then try to start it.if it runs then trace the wire to its source

Overcharging

I'm going to assume your meter is accurate and you have verified the 18.4 reading. Something has to be bypassing the regulator to make the alternator charge at full power. The regulator breaks the circuit dozens of times per minute to maintain 14 volts. Does the alternator charge with the regulator unplugged ?
