So that makes me ask another question. I have GFB pullies installed on the car. Crank and alternator. If I put a stock alternator on, can I still use the smaller belt with the slack that there is in the tension adjuster. Or am I just gonna have to fork up the money to have a shop do it and switch the pullies? Also, if I am able to run the smaller belt, will anything happen to my car using just the one pully on the crank?
