I would be a little worried if you do it with the same old wiring. Some of the wiring in these things is ancient and I don't think it needs any more juice flowing. I'd just plan on replacing all of it if you go through with this project. Watch out to make sure that it is actually STC'd for the C85. One of the brands that Chief Aircraft (?) was selling was STC'd on the O-200 but it said you'd need a field approval for the C-85, if I recall correctly. Personally I am not that optimistic though it would probably be no problem at all. I just don't like the idea of spending $750 on something that could have any chance of not being approved. They did give some people in Alaska trouble over field approvals on alternators a few years ago but it was just one FSDO gone insane I guess.
