Another thing to consider is that at idle and low RPM, the alt doesn't put out very much and may not keep the battery charged.

You can always do a remote solenoid too, or go to a mini starter.

If you heat up at idle or low speeds, might consider raising you idle RPM a little and/or more initial timing. If you're running vacuum advance (which you should), make sure you use manifold vacuum for the source.
