IF I were to remain "period correct" and expect the drive the car I would replace everything electrical under the hood.

Again not my experience -Every one I know who has had problems with reliability in their car have had it either "restored" by a shade tree mechanic and/or have upgraded it for reliabilty with mass produced modern inferior parts that Henry's quality control inspectors would have consigned to the scrap heap instantly. After 88 years and 105,000 miles my car is stil running many of the original electrical components with no problems. For me the functionality and relability of such old technology is part of the charm of owning an old vehicle -but each to their own
