[DeTomaso] upgrading to high output alternator (Pulley size correction)

 Further to some off line discussion:
 The local invoice I had said I got a 77mm pulley, but I just went out to
the garage and measured it at 2.6" (66mm), the same as the stock one on my
old alternator. I think going any smaller would make it more likely to slip
under heavy load with the single V belt drive. It seems to work well as it
is anyway.

The stock pulley was a cheap stamped version and rusted on, so I used the
nice new solid one.
