Have you never even considered to adapt a stator out of some 4-cyl motorcycle? That would enable you to replace both the alternator and the distributor, thus reducing overall drag to the engine while ensuring a steady source of current for the basic functions such as ignition, injection and lighting.

My old school car doesn't have much current draw while running. In fact, I almost always roll start my car.
That already sounds like a good excuse to go with a stator.
