That sounds pretty cool. Saw the picture for the 2nd gen. This won't affect the workings of the alternator or water pump, will it? I'm sure it's not an underdrive setup and I've heard many things of people going to underdrive pulleys and their alternator is not charging properly and their water pump is not cooling right, and so on and so forth.

I found the belt to fit on my second gen. Trial and error. Take a piece of string, wrap it arround all the pullies, and you have a basic measurment.

I think I remember something in your original thread about being able to keep the AC and power steering. That was on the second gen kits. Will I be able to keep the AC pulley on my '83 GSL?
