2nd on the alt going bad due to regulator. Disconnect before further start attempts.

Take an assortment of fuses. Possible one or more blew.

Take an assortment of bulbs for the same reason.

IIRC - there is a separate fuse for the blower motor on the firewall side for full speed blowing.

Original start problem: bad ignition switch, worn/broken tooth on either/or sector gear or rack piece inside the column.

Take a battery charger if you have one. You can use it to keep the battery up while you test things if replacing the alt isn't possible up front.
