I think he's saying he still had charging problems since the crank pulley is smaller, making the alternator underdriven somewhat. If you have a high electrical load, it can be a problem on fox bodies with stock alternators.

oh.... see with an underdrive kit, the alternator pulley is actually made bigger... so it is actually smart to leave it alone and not change it... which SHOULD inprove the charging condition
