I would guess the drive pully is not fully aligned with the other pullies
on the same belt. Some times there is a little play in the body of the
alternator when the mounting bolt is slack. Make sure the alternator
is fully lined up before tightening the mounting and adjusting bolts.
It is possible you killed your alternator by overtightened. I would
expect this to lead to a bearing failure in the alternator drive.

Then I would drop it, get some rims and a nice tailpipe. Add a
chrome shifter and some Toyota Racing stickers and you'll be the
envy over everybody on the block!
