And I wouldn't get enough use out of one to make it worth the $$  $$. If there's an older wrecking yard in your area,cultivate a friendship with the owner or manager,and eventually he'll either look things up for you or let YOU get into the book and check things out.

Can I put it in the 64? My concerns are alternator wiring vs gen.,coil wire vs pointless distributor. Any advice negative or positive is greatly appreciated.I hope I did this message the right way.

But the answer to your question, "Can I put it in the 64?", depends on what skills and tools you possess. Yes it can be done but it's not a bolt in and drive deal. | | |

The wiring shouldn't be any different than if you did the same ignition/alternator upgrades with a Chevy engine. The one major stumbling block is the bellhousing bolt pattern. It it different from the Chevy engine. You'll need to find either a bellhousing with the Buick/Olds/Pontiac bolt pattern or swap to an auto trans with the same pattern. This could create some issues with rear motor mounts.
