  I have an after market press steel pulley on my correct generator. I have sourced the smaller pulley but not sure it is correct. Does anyone have a picture of the gennie one?

  There were two pulleys correct within the 1940 Ford model year. The first design was 3 11/16" in diameter and was utilized until the beginning of June, 1940. At that time a smaller diameter pulley (3 3/16") was placed in to production and replaced the earlier - larger diameter pulley.
The photo attached depicts both...

  Mike, what was the reason if any to go to the smaller pulley ?

  More RPM's... better charging.

  Should the pulleys be painted gloss black or be natural metal?

  The generator was painted as an assembly. Thus, the entire unit is gloss black. A mask of sorts was placed over the two electrical posts keeping them free of paint.
