If it works fine, leave good enough alone. If you are going to make changes, first of all you should change that to a negative ground system. Not a hard thing to do, and your electrical system will be more compatible with other options - electronic ignition for one.

If you decide to install an alternator (recommended), you will need negative ground anyway. Try using the Delco 10SI alternator. It is availabe and inexpensive. If you do not have the space for a 10SI, you can install a Delco CS-121. This alternator was used in GM vehicles from 1986 to 1996. It should start becoming available at salvage yards near you. Look for it in the small GM cars.

Read up on 12 volt conversions in the "Articles" section to the left of this page. There is lots of good info there.
