I'm sorry I don't have any pics of what the belt looks like after the car is started but about 1/4-1/3 of the belt slips off two wheels because, from what I can see, the alternator pulley is too long. If anyone could tell me or has a picture of what a stock alternator pulley looks like I can compare it to what I have measured.

From the base of the alternator to the far side of the pulley it measures at ~1.5 inches which if I was to guess would say about 1/2 an inch too far.
