Default RE: underdrive pulleys?

Theyre all basically the same. I bought a set of Pro Form pullies on ebay for $80.
They didnt come with instructions but you dont really need any.
Theyre not too bad to install. The water pump and harmonic balancer pullies come on and off relatively easy but you'll need an impact gun for the alternator.

I noticed (as have quite a few others) that with the underdrive pullies on with the stock alternator the alternator barely charges at idle with the lights on. My lights would go dim while idling and the gauge was reading at the very end of normal.

I fixed that by putting on a 130 amp alternator from a '94/95 Mustang GT. Its not a direct swap but not too bad to do. See the junkyard modifications sticky above for a link for the conversion.
