Alternator Upgrade

In order to support the various electrical modifications I am doing to my car, I need to upgrade the alternator. The factory alternator for the '64 Dart Slant-6 was, at best, a 30-amp unit. Most owner reports indicate they don't do that well on a good day. There are larger output alternators that were used on later Slant-6 applications, but these units (reportedly) suffer from poor output at low engine speeds.
