sounds like a bad ground. T-Birds have a 2-piece ground wire that connects at the neg. terminal of the battery, side of the block, and bottom of the block. The bottom-of-the-block connection has a habit of degrading over time due to moisture, dirt, etc. I had this same exact problem, and replacing the 2-piece ground wire (and cleaning up each contact surface) solved it. Good luck!!

How do you know when the alternator goes out?

If you are driving in the daytime, your car will loose power and then turn off. If you try to start it, it will not even crank. That's because once the alternator broke down, the engine was now using the power of the battery to run. And since the battery is not getting charged by the alternator, then the battery runs out of power and everything electrical in the car shuts down. If you are driving at night, your head lights will dim a lot and then your car shuts down. Try to start it and it won't even crank.
