i am going to replace bad generator to a new bosch 12v generator on my 67. do you have to polarize the generator when it is inside the engine or can you do it before you install it into the engine? or do you even have to do it at all?

This explains the process:

If you're buying a new one from a shop they should be able to tell you if you need to do it or not.
Just curious, why not go with an alternator?
