After much thought I've decided to bite the bullet and get the Ron Francis harness for my '64 econo.

I'm trying to order this but have run into some questions that perhaps some of you may know the answer to.
It asks me for what kind of alternator I have. The PO installed a 200" 6 out of a mustang, but I don't know what year it came from. The alternator is a one-wire (I assume internally regulated) but it doesn't have a plug. Rather it is directly wired to a junction box that is installed on the dog house, which I suspect is not stock. That box also has a power line from the battery and one going to the starter (and a ground strap from the box to the block). I don't think any of this poses a problem for the new harness, but any advice is welcome.
They also ask for what kind of steering column plug and turn signal plugs (Ford Model U, G. L W, etc) I have. Obviously I don't have a column ignition switch, but what about the turn signal? I guess I'll have to disassemble it at some point but I haven't so far and therefore can't see what kind of plug it needs. Again, suggestions???
Lastly, they ask for what kind of voltage gauge (voltmeter of ammeter) I have, which of course is none. I am going to add some aftermarket guages (temp, oil and voltage) so which way should I answer this question?
Sorry for all the questions. I've never rewired a vehicle before so this will be a new challenge. I'd like to make it as easy as possible so would like to order this correctly the first time. Thanks!
