Help Everyone My Injun Burned

Help Everyone My Injun Burned! Or HEMI B body fire help needed.
I've got a project here, a '64 Belvedere that caught fire and destroyed the components on the firewall.
I'll be posting pics with some related questions. I need some help I.D.ing what Electrical components cooked away on the firewall. Also some general info as to what year alternator I may have.
426 Hemi 4 speed, electronic ignition. I want to be sure the new parts match the charging and ignition systems.
Thanks!View attachment 144439View attachment 144440View attachment 144441

If you have the batt terminal output directly wired to the field wire that would full field the alternator which would by pass the regulator. Was there only the output wire on the alternator? It is hard to tell but if it is that could be the cause of your problem if the field wire connected to the batt output melted the insulation from running full field it would short the alt output to ground. The burn marks on the alt indicates where it gounded if you look closely.
