blk89lx

my uncle just got his car back from the shop and they just had put in underdrive pulleys on his 90 lx ans now that they changed his alternator pulley the volts have been very low and now the car has trouble starting because it cant charge the battery. what should he do?

88 5.0 thats a sharp car......considering that looks like my ol'man's even to the rims.
i would put the stock pully on......no loss in hp there.

a few options,

get a new high output alternator,

put the old pulley back on

pay a midget to ride a bicycle manpowered generator to recharge the battery,





for fun.

is that the same midget powering your motor?

the pulleys do drop the voltage alittle but nothing to be alarmed about the pulley rccomendations that come with a new set is not to idle for extended periods of time with accessories running, I upgraded to a bigger battery and i plan on upgrading the alt to but there is no big rush, i just have to carank it twice when i want it to start.

get a better alt or put on the stock pulley, bot would result in a LITTLE power loss so dont matter

if it was my car, i would buy a bigger alt, only because it would be helpful for my fat system it would bue powering, but puting stock pulley back on would do just fine...
