In a recent article in Hot Rod Magazine they were trying to solve an
overheating problem on a car and one of the issues was that at idle the
electric
fan was not getting enough juice to spin properly.....and this was with a
small alternator. I never thought this would be an issue. I guess if you
don't have any accessories then it doesn't matter. I just brought it up in
the event that you or other do have an electric fan.

Gene,
I don't think you're crazy at all. I run a stock generator with the
original pulley on my 331 stroker and it works just fine. I don't have any
accessories, a GPS or a stereo power amp that demand a lots of amps.

Hi All,
In the book Performance Tuning the Tiger there is mention and a picture of
a larger than stock generator pulley which slows the generator down and
makes it happier to be run at higher motor RPM's. Call me crazy, but I would
like to find such a pulley and keep using a generator for the totally stock
look on my higher reving 347 motor. BTW, my current pulley is about 3.25
inches in diameter. My current generator needs to be replaced and I have a
remanufactured one on order. It comes without a pulley. So as long as I
have to put a pulley on it, I am thinking if I could find a larger diameter
one that would fit, why not? I know there are alternators now available
packaged in a generator looking style case but I really do not want to go
there at the present time. So does anyone know anything about that larger
diameter generator pulley mentioned in the book? A part number? Maybe it is
stock for some of the other generators back in the day?
Any and all info would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.
Gene
