bbk underdrive pulley owners come in!
Just picked up a bbk underdrive pulley for my cam swap, and it came with the alternator pulley. Car is an auto. Any way I can skip using the alternator pulley? Also I'm gathering its a 77 inch belt with the pulley on the alternator, so what's it with the stock alt. pulley? Thanks guys. I tried a search but got like 12 different options.

I haven't looked into UDP's much but I know for an auto you want to use the overdrive pully for the alternator to keep the battery charged. You need a new different belt with a UDP so I assume you would still need a different size with the UDP/ODP combo. Info I found from a quick search:
SLP pulley response
Powerbond 25% pulley
Brand of pulley doesn't matter I imagine, if they are the same % of reduction.
If you don't want to use the ODP for the alternator your alternative solution to eliminate charging issues would be to raise the idle rpm. I believe 750-850 should be appropriate.
EDIT I just read on WS6Store's product page for the BBK pulley that it uses existing factory serpentine belt so go with that
