I believe the timing cover you are looking for is C4AZ-6019-A.
I think a number of the Mustang parts stores are carrying that part now, but
I know that California Mustang; Falcon Parts catalog lists a timing cover
specifically for 63 - 66 260/289 with cast in timing pointer.
www.cal-falcon.com
The cast iron pump arrangement should work with the generator. The
bracket bolts to the cylinder head. The adjustment bar might need to be
bent some to fit. The only problem I can think of with this arrangement is
whether or not the fan pulley hub can be pressed to the correct position on
the water pump to line up the fan pulley with the crank pulley. There maybe
some thickness differences between these parts.
Changing to an alternator is not that hard to do. I did a very
nice conversions a couple of years ago and wrote an article. The hardest
part for me was designing and welding up the alternator bracket after I
figured out how to simplify the wiring. If you would like a copy of that
article let me know and I will e-mail one to you.

Anybody know where I can get a timing chain cover for the 260. (it's
actually a 289 but has the old style cover and aluminum water pump on it).
All the ones I have seen are for the cast iron pump. Mine has a piece
cracked off one of the bolt bosses and another section is damaged so thought
I would hunt up a replacement.
As an aside, if I went with the cover for the cast iron pump and just put a
cast iron water pump on, do the brackets and such fit for the generator? I'm
not sure I am prepared to go to an alternator yet although I suppose that is
an option too.
