Gene,

I don't think you're crazy at all. I run a stock generator with the original pulley on my 331 stroker and it works just fine. I don't have any accessories, a GPS or a stereo power amp that demand a lots of amps.

 Hi All,

 In the book Performance Tuning the Tiger there is mention and a picture of a larger than stock generator pulley which slows the generator down and makes it happier to be run at higher motor RPM's.  Call me crazy, but I would like to find such a pulley and keep using a generator for the totally stock look on my higher reving 347 motor.  BTW, my current pulley is about 3.25 inches in diameter. My current generator needs to be replaced and I have a remanufactured one on order.  It comes without a pulley.  So as long as I have to put a pulley on it, I am thinking if I could find a larger diameter one that would fit, why not?  I know there are alternators now available packaged in a generator looking style case but I really do not want to go there at the present time.  So does anyone know anything about that larger diameter generator pulley mentioned in the book?   A part number?  Maybe it is stock for some of the other generators back in the day?

 Any and all info would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.
 Gene
