I have a 160 amp alt that was built locally and he claims it does 100 amps at idle. They specialize in alternators..

Not sure I would go any further than just swapping to the newer crop of sealed beams, along with adding the relay harness. These newer sealed beams are much brighter than the original headlights, but they also draw a bit more power. As such, the relays take the load off the headlight switch, typically extending it's lifespan.
Sealed beams may be "old school technology", but the newer plastic lenses on the replaceable bulb headlights get foggy/cloudy over time, dimming the total output of light. With a sealed beam, you always start off with fresh lens.

It is getting more and more common for people not to adjust their lights correctly.
