Will this pulley fit my alternator?

Im looking at getting a smaller pulley for my alternator to get better charging a idle, the problem is its harder to find 5 groove overdrive pulleys. It is a V-belt setup, but it has the 5 groove pulley. This pulley was stock for some ford car, but will it fit on my alternator without any problems, it looks like nearly everything matches up but I wanted to make sure?

Yes, i'm pretty sure it will work. 17mm hole is the same, so you should be fine.
I can tell you i've taken Ford serpentine alternators (1993 taurus) and put on 1984 GM V-belt pulleys on the shaft with no problems, so what you're doing is similar enough.
