What is the angle on a V belt pulley?

Thanks fellas.
Though I do strive for good to excellent, I was never one who needed to do perfection.
This alternator is only 35 amp and will only charge the battery so I doubt if it will ever see the kinds of loads that require exact specs on the pully.
I just finished making the new brackets for it.
@Provincial,
Nice to see another Ford owner.
I started with a 2N that my father gave me when he passed 23 years ago.. It ran good so I never had to do much to it. Had a lot of fun and did a lot of useful work with it. Then sold it and bought an 8N and then a couple of Hundred Series and finally a bunch of 3 cylinder Thousands. Fixed them, sold them, parted them out, etc.
25 or 30 Fords later I still have three of them.
Are you a member of any of the tractor forums?
I belong to Yesterday's Tractors and a couple others. Same screen name everywhere I go.

If the belt is a "classic v-belt" style, the pulley groove angles vary between 34 and 38 degrees, included. Most, that fall into this category, are either 34 or 38 degrees. Only a few are 36 degrees. Here are a couple photos from the Machinists Handbook. Hope it helps.
