Tom - Several sources for smaller pulleys:

- Visit your local starter/alternator shop (or wrecking yard) and inquire.

- Go to a power transmission products house or catalog (like WW Grainger - link below) and order one that fits.

- Or do what I've done - modify your existing pulley: Remove the pulley and chuck it in a lathe . Use a cutoff tool to split the pulley at the centerline (at the base of the belt groove). Now insert 2 or 3 flat washers between the pulley halves when bolting the pulley halves back onto the alternator shaft. This "opens up" the groove, effectively reducing the pulley pitch diameter and making it spin faster.

• Grainger sheaves
