Thanks, Don and all,
That sure clarifies things for me. I’m going to go ahead and have that GM put in my original generator.
Send the other out to be rebuilt and then put it back onto the original generator. Sound reasonable guys?
Thank you.

Hi — Just get another used generator in good shape , not rusty ? commutator does not “go “ but i know if generator is badly overheated it can toss solder that holds the winding wires to it . Such an armature is junk . changing a commutator or rewind is a huge job not really practical in 2025 . And not as good as a stock one just needing cleaning up
If blackened due to driving after end of brush life or stuck brushes ( sparking etc ) that can be cleaned up . I honestly think if you were told “it needs a commutator” go someplace else .
All mopar 30- 35 A generators are essentially the same electrical parts despite obsession with part numbers . The variations involve clocking of end plates and variations in mounting flanges ( you can use F ends / mount parts ) and pulleys ( 1 or 2 groove) A dodge or plymouth can donate — sometimes you do see replacement 12 v armatures on ebay. 57-61 12 v
What does go are the brushes , easy to change wear item , ~ 80 k miles, low cost , and sometimes bearings in the end plates . Brush springs can rust or brushes can stick in slides . That blackens commutator , can be polished . No need to undercut just clean out slots between bars with box cutter ( dont slip snd scratch it)
If AC , it gets harder , more powerful generator 35-40 A are rare .
At one time i routinely put alternator in F , but now such a special valuable car , keep stock ? Generators worked fine , for 70 k still do !
Genernator are big ( huge!) bucks , weird one off things — no parts if it punts . Great for Ford model A going to 12 v etc.
Any non stock thing ( alternator ) involves harness changes will look non stock on firewall too
just mho

Michael: I'll be the commentator on the comutator which if it cannot be undercut or otherwise cleaned up by an experienced auto-electric rebuilder, must be replaced.

A good rebuilder will have access to the parts you need.

You can install a Gener-nator. That is an alternator built into a case resembling a generator. Powermaster has one of these too. Google them up.

You can install a Chrysler round back alternator too. The club site shows you how. If I was not going to fix and put the generator back, I'd install a round back. The 1960 AMA specification lists one as optional, so its kosher. Mucho better with AC.

My 19 6300 F needs a commentator apparently the voltage regulator fried It. Anybody know who might have one or can rewind one?
Michael Alexander in Florida.

Secondly I have been informed that one can install an alternator inside the original housing of the generator. Anybody have any info on this? it would look original but better power? A/Ccar. It’s in the shop now with a temporary GM commutator being put in it pending sending my original out for rebuild. Any reindeer:rebuilders out there? I would appreciate some help. My terra-cotta prize is sitting and I do love him so .
