I think '63 was the first year for alternator. I think my '65 has the generator light. I can't tell from the photos I have of the dash. I know one of the lights say Tandem Lock. The other might be Overspeed, but I recall seeing a Generator light on one of the '65 dashes I have, and they all have gauges. I'd suspect the wiring is good on yours, but you'll know for sure once you compare it to the wiring diagrams. $170 isn't bad, $500 is way too much for the lights! I think the carb if not original, is for a 283. The 283 in the yellow '65 I have, came with a 283 and it had a Rochester DualJet on it. No tag, so a rebuild kit will be a bear to get the right one. The quadrajet would be a good carb on there. HEI is super easy to install.
