Ok first turn off the caps. Next, welcome to underdrive pullies. Next mod for you, is upgrading to the 3g 130 amp alternator. Problem solved.

I was gonna install them in my 90 GT. But after reading about the negatives I decided against it.

samt hings happening to me. When you turn your radio on does the volt meter go almost all the way down? and wen i turn my headlights on it goes way down too. i got a system in my car though and wen my subs hit the volt meter goes down then comes back up and most of the time its only at like 10 volts.

Or you can just use the stock alternator pulley, and then put the underdrive on the new alty

Yeah guys, I would never run it that low. Put the stocker back on if you still have it. I would hate to come out to a car with a dead battery, or have it stall, or the light be too dim, but that's my opinion.

Don't use the underdrive pulley on the alternator. I installed only the water pump and crank pulleys and haven't had any problems.
