The voltage regulator has been replaced and it's a small silver unit. I am guessing that it is already the electronic one??
I will convert it to the mini starter as well.

Soooo, what's that mean?
Are you poo-pooing the idea of spending around $20 or less to tune a carb before throwing down several hundred $$ for a Holley?
Others, see attached for the set of metering rod springs mentioned.......
http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/carbs_acc/access_calibrate.shtml
Your Joking , Correct ???
First Thing , I Never Mentioned Holley
Second Thing , I Could Tune A Edelbrock , Carter AVS All Day / Any Day - I Love The AVS Series Actually , Original And New - I Take The Original Factory Carter Avs,s and pull off the metering rod covers and make my own flat metering rod covers and tune them with the Edelbrock Metering Rods / Springs And Jets (Finding the Carter AVS Strip Kits , Three step metering rods and tall primary jets is next to impossible)
ANYWAYS with that said
The 1407 / 1411 Performer Series Is Nothing More Then A Overpriced Parts Carb - Actually Thats Beeing To Nice , How many beer cans could we make out of a 1407 Carb ??? That would Bee more productive and definetly a wiser choice
Bottom Line - You cant tune a internal design flaw with springs
That series , 1407 / 1411 is the most and WORSE talked about carb on Moparts.com - Probably the world wide web for that matter
For every 1 positive there is like 100 negative posts about those /1407 1411 series

Hey, no problem here. Just didn't know what you were implying.
I never said the metering rod springs were the end all tuning fix that is solely needed. It just seems to get overlooked when people are struggling with a off-idle bog and they try jetting, pump squirt and everything else.
Just trying to help.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, some just don't share it so well.

well said, The older original Carter carbs were some of the best, the metering was well thought out, The 1407/1411 are Pieces of S, They took a good carb design & screwed it up, I'll take a Holley all day long over those things, I know i said i wouldn't make anymore comments, Oh well .

I guess "great" is out of the question, so you have to settle for "good", thats why i ran a "Great" carb on my 451

Here's the 78 Diplomat replacement alternator. This is a higher output model than the earlier ones correct? What would I need to safely upgrade the wiring so that it can handle the added amperage?

Yes higher amps & you have an electronic reg in the pic. Many ways to go w elec upgrades & myself I clean EVERY connection/terminal AND strive to keep the ammeter needle close to 12 o'clock and power added high amp draw accessories right from the alt w relays. #1 clean connections/terminals and keep high flow out of the bulkhead and if not then running 2 wires straight thru the bulkhead on the 2 main in/out lines (fusible link in/wire out to alt)
Thanks!
As an update, I looked at my lower alternator bracket and I don't think that it is correct. It does not have enough adjustment to get the belt as tight as it should be. I think this could be another issue. The belt is looser than it should be for sure.
