[Tigers] high speed generator pulley

[CoolVT at aol.com]

In a recent article in Hot Rod Magazine they were trying to solve an  
overheating problem on a car and one of the issues was that at idle the electric  
fan was not getting enough juice to spin properly.....and this was with a 
small  alternator.  I never thought this would be an issue. I guess if you 
don't  have any accessories then it doesn't matter. I just brought it up in 
the event  that you or other do have an electric fan.

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
