New 94A alternator
Hei from recommended ebayer
Weber progressive (getting jeep 258 jets)

Should I install either carb or dizzy first just to solid up their performance?

I'll do alternator first

The alternator and HEI should be a simple hook up.
I'd do them both the same weekend.
Once all is operating as expected, then move to the carb.

Oh, with the new alternator, you may want to read up on possible ammeter gauge fire hazards.
Unless you've already converted to a voltmeter.

No ampmeter just volt
Might add one next to battery but not yet..
And I have to engender where I put that 6cyl tach I have

Make sure to remove the resistance wire (or resistor) so you have full 12v to the HEI all the time.
