Thanks Dennis!  The crankshaft pulley and waterpump do seem to be in alignment
(I'm just using a straightedge though).  Indeed my alt. pulley is the one
piece kind
(as well as the one previous to that).  I will see if I can find the
two-piece kind at
BusDepot or Gowesty.  Anyone have a lower alt. bracket for sale just to be
safe?
thanks,
