If you have the TIM & JG, the generator specifics are on page 64. The correct generator model is 1102043. If you don't already have a correct one try John Perkle at http://www.johnpirkle.com/. He will also have the correct pulley and will stamp the tag with the appropriate model and dates. Be careful if you are looking. There is a very similar generator that was used on the early passenger cars, 57 for one, that has the drive gear on the back and will work on your 59, but there is some differences in the front and rear end frames.

Attached is a document that describes these differences.
