Get yourself an AC DELCO 94 amp alternator for the conversion, as well as the other parts mentioned previously. | | |

12 bulbs in guages, tail lights, headlights, etc...
voltage drop (runtz) for ammmeter, gas guage, fuel sending unit, radio and possibly heater blower motor.
Voltage drop for coil.
You can use a 74 monte carlo alternator, but they are only 55 amp. If you can find one that wires up the same with 90 amps, great!
