The water pumps, '37-48 are pretty much the same, I would suggest you use pumps that have been rebuilt by Skip Henley (spl). The 35-36 log style of manifolds work great on the 59 AB engines, actually better than the later style. The exhaust manifolds on my '36 are original to the car.
My fan mount is a cut down '39 two brush generator that has ball bearings in lieu of bushings. This type of a fan mount is one of those old time deals from the late forty's.
My ignition is a Harmon Collins dual coil with a '42 style crab cap, plenty of clearance.
