what you should of done is get MARCH power and amp pullies so you don't have a charging issue. but a bigger alt will solve the problem, a 3g or a ssp police alt.

both alt pulleys are same size
Both the alternator pulley and the underdrive alternator pulley are the same size, is that what you're saying?
you have to watch mixing under drives with stockers sometimes the belt wont fit right
Yeah, I forgot that it might be a little tight on the belt if you switch from underdrive to stock.

got the underpulleys on my 95, put a 130amp alt in still dimms the lights when idling, however i put a optima red top batt. in and seem to help alot. by the way i have three amps for the stereo and two 8" in the trunk, which draw alot.. tried the stock pulley first the belt was too tight tried a larger belt but did'nt fit right.. good luck................

Hmm. Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else. Thought I heard you say something like that yesterday though. Either way, it's funny.
