First thing I'd do is make really sure that you're metering the same thing on both cameras, since meter coverage and weighting can differ so much from one to another. Get lenses as close as possible to identical, and aim the cameras at a featureless surface like a wall. If you can find another camera or another meter that you trust, the more the merrier.

If there is really a discrepancy, I'd then make sure that you're using the right batteries, and that their voltage is really what it's supposed to be, because most of the meters I've dealt with overexpose more as voltage drops.

After that, though, I have no experience with the A-1, so that's where I drop out here.
