Default Alternator Sizing

Hello all,

Does anyone have information on what a typical 68 firebird power requirements are? This would be for headlights, dash lights, heater blower (no AC, no power windows). Unfortunately, the car is torn down now and I cannot measure it.

I'm trying to figure out what size alternator to go with. I've added dual fans, EFI, MSD, fuel pump, electric water pump and 4L80e with controller. I'm roughly calculating these items to draw around 120 amps worst case but I don't know what the rest of the vehicle requires.

Thanks
