Got my alternator back from kmj, installed brand new 3.0 pulley and it has a little wobble to it unfortunately. SMH
What did you do for your Terminator today?

Is there wobble in the shaft without a pulley on it?
i put a smaller pulley that was sent with it and it doesn’t look like there’s a wobble idk of the bigger pulley just shows the wooble or it’s actually the Metco pulley that is off
A level surface should show if the mounting pad is off on the Metco.
FWIW, the 3" pulley he recommended caused my alternator to severely under charge at idle. Like under 12vdc sitting at a light under charge. I get why he recommended the 3", but I still swapped to a stock size. The alternator will just have to deal with the quick bursts at WOT.

Finally got all my parts.
3.0 whipple supercharger kit
vmp intercooler upgrade
Ford performance upgraded intercooler pump
Everything else I already have on my car. 24-25lbs MS109. pics to follow. Not sure when I will have time to do the swap. should be soon. 20 years of owning this car, and it still feels like 2003 when I mod it. Insane.

Dropped her off at the shop to fix the rear main seal leak, and install UPR k member, coil overs and CC plates.
Should be picking her up Monday or Tuesday!
Exciting stuff!!

Unplug the Hobbs switch and stick a mini fuse into the plug to jumper the second pump.

I ended going underneath and just switching the pumps via their connectors. It runs now.
Should have done that in the parking lot before the tow :/

I bought a spare passenger headlight to cut up for the air intake mod. Just have to drill, cut, dremel and get her installed for some fresh air at the dragstrip.
Replaced the 117k mile old pumps, installed MM arms and coil overs, and KMJ alt with Big 3 upgrade.
Keeping the daily reliable.

I was there too I had one of the Red Fire Cobras
I have the same combo and ever since I installed it, I have this ATROCIOUS chirp. Im about to just chance it and go to a stock pulley an see if that fixes it. For some reason the Metcos dont like the KMJs, even tho its apparently the stock housing
Been prepping the car for the Cobra Engineering crossover delete. Debating on doing a full flush and switching over to the new Motorcraft Yellow coolant versus the original Gold. Just cant stand the crap the gold leaves behind but im probably splitting hairs and causing myself extra work for no reason.
It might a stock housing, but it's not a stock Cobra housing. If it was there wouldn't be a need to grind the brackets for clearance.
I didn't have a problem with the Metco wobbling on mine. But I am glad I went with the smaller pulley. Didn't see less than 14.2vdc even when stuck in traffic. Granted I wasn't running the A/C so it wasn't a full test. But it was a lot better than before.
Testing some E85 from NC I got last September….. still have 2 VP jugs of this left.
VS. some local E85 I just picked up last week.

Is that because they're still flushing the winter stuff out?
We still have E70 right now. I doubt I even get E85 here. It’s the only station within 30-40 miles of my house.
That’s what I was thinking but my buddy who tests it often says it’s usually low 80’s all the time here. I usually don’t test it, but prepping for the dyno so I wanted to use the higher E85 I have. I know the southern corn is always better.
My understanding is anything above E60 gives full knock protection. I have my tune set up to give full timing above E75 just to be safe.
Will the difference cause any issues down the road? Or are they close enough that you won't see it in the A/F?
