Sounds good.
1. If you have a points distributor you need a ballast resistor or equivalent for a 12V system.
2. Mechanical gauges are just fine if you can find the correct "sender" to fit the 84 motor.
3. ALL bulbs need to be 12V
4. The only gauge that needs a reducer is the gas gauge. Gauge is separate from bulbs. One of the terminal on back of gauge is for ignition switch power. The other is for the sender wire. Don't get them crossed. The one from ignition switch gets the reducer. American Classic trucks sells them for $6.
5. Good idea to abandon the ammeter and install volt meter.
6. I prefer the " 3 wire" alternator hook up. Which is really only two wires. One more than a one wire.
It's all up to you as far as how modern you want to get. Good luck.
