59 Dodge 326 8 cylinder, need a fuel pump, any recommendations for source, thanks.
For 1959, the 326 was the base Coronet V8. 1959 Coronet V8s were model MD2-L. On that basis, I think that the correct fuel pump is 1843 287 (See table below).
Searching for that as "1843287 1959 Dodge Fuel Pump" turns up a number of options for OE or replacement fuel pumps.

If so, rebuild it with a kit from Then and Now. When you use the original pump, you are assured of the correct pressure and volume. Aftermarket pumps may put out more than the recommended 5-7 pounds.

Great suggestion Ron.
All the OP has to do is figure out which kit he needs:

And then follow a video like this one:

Location: Connecticut | If you have an original Carter pump, the four digit Carter number is on the edge. The 5th character is an 'S'. This is from my 55 Desoto. Ron
