I am attempting to do the 3g alternator swap and am having trouble transferring my v-belt pulley to the 3G alternator. I have searched for a solution and am not coming up with any results, hence this post.
I have taken the dual V-belt pulley from my old alternator and placed a shim washer between it and the new 3g alternator then attempted to tighten the nut. I can get it where it is so tight that it cannot spin, as soon as I back it off where the shaft can spin freely then the pulley also spins around the shaft itself.
Spinning the pulley does not spin the shaft with regularity, it catches sometimes but mostly just spins around the shaft. This doesn't seem right to me and I'm wondering if I have done something wrong.
I have tried 3 different thickness washers, I have tried a second pulley pulled from another alternator.
Do I need to get a different alternator? This 3g one came from a Taurus I believe. Is the issue using a V-belt pulley on the serpentine alternator? From what I've read here it doesn't seem to matter, just the threads and spacing are an issue for the nut, but maybe I'm wrong in that regard. Any advice is appreciated, thank you.
