You can test the alternator with a volt meter. Simply test battery voltage with the car off it should be high 11s or 12v
With the car running the voltage should be mid 13s.
If the voltage is the same or lower with the car running then the alternator is bad.

The type of float you have isn't necessarily reflected by the type of carb you have. It depends more so on what kit was used when the carb was last rebuilt. Some kit makers offer one or both types of floats regardless of the carb model. You can probably get a very bright flashlight and look through the fuel bowl window to see what you have.
