Alternator pulley
I have a 1971 LT-1 , but the alternator was replaced at some time in the past with a standard Auro Zone unit.
The pully is not a deep groove and I fear it may be thrown off.
All other pullies are deep.
Is it possible to buy a deep pulley that will fit the shaft on my standard alternator?
My hope is that the shaft and hole in pullies are all universal and if I find the correct belt side configuration that it will be a easy swap out.
Thanks
David

For what its worth, when I was new to my Vette, my original alternator failed, so I thought it did, and without thinking, I traded it in on a core at a local Checker Auto store for a rebuild. It was only after I got the new unit installed did I realize I gave up my deep groove pulley, which was a few days later.
Turned out it wasnt even the alternator, but the exciter line coming from the idiot light that was open.
But since then- (summer 2002) I been running the non deep groove alternator and have never thrown the belt.
Making the switch up to a CS144 this year and it also has the non deep groove V-pulley.
