It is a woodruff key not a regular square key.
Most bigger hwd stores carry them as well as auto parts,
If you don't have the old one to take it with you, take the S/Gen and find the correct one for a dollar.
Also it takes the same key that all billion delco generators took starting in the 1930's to about 1962-63 in vehicles so a starter gen shop would have the key also.
And many earlier alternators used it also.
google woodruff key for delco

And FWIW,
Delco found out they could eliminate it by tightening the nut tighter.
