That's true. toothed belts require less tension that V-belts. I'd love to
do that, but was discouraged when I priced out the custom engine pulley
that I'd need. It was more than I'd paid for the alternator. I'll be runing
the alternator at no more than 150 A, anyway, since I've got just 400 AH of
battery capacity.
