Ken, you got the pulley thing backwards. A smaller pulley would turn
slower and cause the waterpump & alternator to spin slower- BUT with more
torque :-)  How much smaller? You may want to check out their ratios and
if your new pulley's ratio is much different than the old you may be in a
dilly of a pickel.
Cheers
Matthew
