You really want the double pulley. The second pulley lines up with the crank
and water pump without having to do any fabrication of mounts, spacers or
anything. The 10si was used by GM from about 1968 until 1985, so you've
probably got a 10si, if you got the one that's internally regulated. GM
used externally regulated alternators into the mid-70's, but I don't know
all applications. Take the one you've got back and get one with a double
pulley, as they don't cost any more.
