i have been looking it is not easy trying to find a alternator with 8 ribs..but they are out there..rebuilt seems a good way to go.......on ebay im mostley seeing valeo but with 6 ribs ...sure you can change out the pulley but you can see with the eye that its not lined up right..(you don't even need some kind of measurer tool)....it may be fine and not do in your belt but than again it does rub very slightly and could do in you belt...so i personally am not going to take that chance... sorry i like things the right way and not out of lineament and thats just me....thank you all for your input and help !!
