The AD244 is supposed to put out more down low. I think the CS144 does to an extent, but I have no idea how it compares to a CS130D. I think that as long as a modest bump is expected, an over drive would be a very cheap, and easy solution.... I bet a smaller belt would be the biggest cost, if that would even be needed.
I got the opportunity to work on alternators this past fall, becasue of my 69 Electra. It was actually kind of fun. I had no idea how easy it was to zip off the pulley with an impact. They were older designs, but I can't image the pulleys being any more difficult. I re-used stock pulleys for what I was doing.
What applications are the 144/244 again? I feel like one of those came from a GMT800? For a guy with a 97 down, would an 800 alternator cause issues? 411 swap would alleviate this. Sorry for the minijack Ken and yes, this would 100% require a belt swap. I went 1/4" smaller on my blower pulley on my 1500 and had to get a new belt.
