My suggestionis to do the Bosche conversion.  It is both electronically and
mechanically a direct swap.  The only thing that might be different is a
different size belt.

It is for a 78-80 Ford Fiesta.

Not only will it cure the noise but it will generate a full 55 amps to power
any sort of accessories that you choose to install.
