most of the high amp alternators with the same belt setup are high priced

Just pull off your old pulley..It works fine! They are not specifically for Vbelt or Serp. whatever you need is what its made for

My new alternator came with a v-belt pully (single groove), and the one I was replacing had the serpentine style (multiple grooves), I just switched them myself using a bench vise and impact wrench.
