Yes! And Yes!
No need to re invent the wheel or re wire the car.
Hope it helps your situation. And from there you can rule out volt drop as a suspect..
Good luck.
Keep us posted

Here is a hand drawn sketch of what I did to my 67. I re wired it because the under hood wires were stiff and crispy. I had to put the new VR and ignition system on a Relay due to voltage drop thru the bulkhead. My old VR was not affected by the voltage drop because I was running on one field, other field went to ground with the old style VR.

Also forgot to mention that I ran another wire from the alt to battery down under the radiator core support and back up to the battery. I had installed a fused junction block near the battery to power my headlights that I also put on relays as well. But thats another episode...
