the good thing about the delco alternator is that it was designed to charge well at idle and therefore should not need a different pulley. the regulator is internal and hasa no external contacts.
Bob is right , it could be loose something in the regulator. Another option is the sensing voltage. you have two spade terminals on the side of the alternator. The "F or "2" terminal has 12 volts and can be connected to your 1/4 inch hot lug onthe back case. the "A" or "1" terminal is what signals the alternator to charge. it also is powered by the key switch and is not hot when the engine or key is off. I like to put a 10 ohm 10 watt resistor in this line to drop the voltage slightly and this tells the alternator to charge at an idle. On some cars they have an idoit light, or resistor wire do the same thing. You can get the resistor at Radio Shack for $1.00 it is brown and about 3 inches long, 1/4 inch square. I have a drawing of the wiring schematic if you need, e-mail.
