I don't have a part number handy, but it would be the same part as used from '56 on in the vehicle you have. There were a couple different versions for different vehicles.

12v conversion and a 'one wire' alternator... diagnosing your existing problems and what was done, or not done, by the previous owner can be tricky because we can't really see what you have... and there can potentially be so many ways for it to have been done badly.
