Quick Wiring Question

After switching from EFI to carb with an HEI distributor, would I have to upgrade the stock alternator?

I noticed my battery level on the cluster reads dead center at like 13, but when it's in gear it's in the red at the bottom. What would cause this?

Also, the headlights are super dim, and when the cooling fan kicks on everything drops down in brightness even more.
