What do up feel provides the best dependability and why? Please prioritize.

completer 12 volt conversion
generator to alternator
electronic distributor
diode version cut out (positive or negative ground, depending on conversion)
electronic voltage regular cur out, 6 volt positive ground
conversion of 2 blade fan
temp gauge
oil press gauge
oil filter
air filter
other

Thanks in advance.
I'm not a purist, but I don't see anything on your list that would make the car appreciably more dependable.

I would insure ALL systems are in top condition. Not only the engine as PC/SR has suggested, but the fuel system, electrical system, suspension, steering, brakes, etc. All need to be examined closely (with help from an expert if necessary) and put into "as new" condition. This will do far more for dependability than replacing distributors, generators, adding gauges, etc.

Just my opinion.
