My F1 V8 has a 12 volt late Chevrolet generator converted

My F1 V8 has a 12 volt Late Chevy generator and new regulator. When I first start it the ammeter reads 30.
When I drive at night I gotta be careful. I have dead battery problems a lot and new batteries don’t last long. It did not help when I installed the 3.5:1 rear end. And I don’t have a radio or a heater. I really need an alternator when my $hip comes in.
If you can’t keep the battery charged up good they don’t last long.

along with a new 12 volt Chevy regulator.
