The Whitney alternators are fairly low output. They say not to use them with halogen bulbs, however some claim to get away with it. There are other issues with changing out headlights on early v8s. The original lens and bulbs are focused and changing things around can result in brighter bulbs that spread the light in an unusable fashion.
