Re: it is impossible!

I had those march pulleys on my first 91 TA years ago. It was the single worst part I ever put on my car or any car. This was on a 2 year old car with 20k on the odometer too. It ran terribly. Heaven forbid I had the radio headlights and the AC on, alternator power would take a nosedive. If I ran 2 of those, alternator power took a nosedive. Wipers, interior and exterior lights would visibly slow down and darken unless I was moving. VERY visibly. I had them on for maybe 2-3k miles before I replaced the engine with a 350 and took the original pulleys out of the trunk and had the shop reinstall those on the new engine. Problem solved. Underdrive pulleys... BLEH!
