I installed the alternator and water pump pulleys today, found the right length belt and fired up the motor. No fuel leaks, no coolant leaks.

I also polished the alterntor, check out the difference. I noticed that the alternator doesn't charge at idle anymore, probably because the ATI pulley underdrives it. Oh well... I also blew air into the boost reference hose, the fuel pressure increased from 6psi to 8 psi. Good thing I bought the SC, my lungs only put out a wimpy 2 psi.

I also chased and found an electrical demon, but that's another story.
