I have tried long and short belts, napa, gates, dayco, generic, loose and tight and no change at all. I'm about to throw in the towel. Only thing I can think of is a different setup, maybe go to a driverside mount instead of passenger.

I have both the belt u see in the pic and a cogged one on the inside, but again, both sit too high. I'll have to get another one with a smaller V.

But you said the belt doesn't fit the pulley. Good chance that's your problem. Are you not able to find one with the correct width and angle?

How does the belt fit the waterpump pulley? If it's good, you might have the right belt, but need a different pulley on the alternator.

Belt fits the water pump fine, it just seems to stick up out of the alternator pulley to much, its not flush. I tried a smaller width same problem. My next step might be a different pulley, I read someone used a Z28 deep groove pulley and that solved their problem.
