Hey, a altenator conversion is easy and one of the best things i have done to my 64. Besides your brackets,(if your are running a v-8 there are no changes there), all you need to do is either go to your local altenator shop and have them convert alater model intrnal regulator altenator to a "self exciting regulator". This cost me an additional 8.00$ or so. Then all you have to connect is the 1 big red wire.If you need a voltmeter your altenator man can explain the easiest way to connect it. This is easy, cheap, and fast. My truck starts better and actually ideles with bright lights! Good luck.
