Alternator pulley alignment issue
My alternator is making quite the racket and if you look at the belt it’s clearly wobbling back and forth. I think the bearings are shot and will have to be replaced but I want to correct the alignment before doing so. How do you adjust the pulley alignment?

Could be wrong brackets. Could be wrong water pump. Could be wrong pulleys and-or balancer not on crank far enough. Fix or replace alternator. Keep the old one til you get numbers checked. If original to car or era it is worth a lot more than the 15 buck core charge. You can usually shim alt forward with spacers or a few washers on the mount brackets. Half-assed but works.
