look for almost any 2.2 Ecotec underdrive pulley. It should work just the same. The guys at www.ecotecforum.com could probably help you out too!

If you have a 2.4 that means you have a coil on plug ignition and unless you start doing some MAJOR mods like forced induction and high nitrous shots then you don't need anything for the ignition setup from msd.

Ok flyhhr but... the first line says "when an ECOTEC is being built for drag racing..." Unless you are going to make your HHR an all out drag car (turbo, standalone computer, slicks, MAJOR horsepower in the 300+ range) then this is not even close to being a necessity. The stock ignition system is more then adequate.

I am not saying do it. I was just letting people know you can change it. MSD does make stuff for the ecotec. This person was looking for aftermarket pulley for is alt. I don't think that is a good idea but people are trying to give him help. So I was giving him info on the msd stuff if he needed.

The one you posted is the right one for the Eco's. -md- HHR was just saying you would need to get an underdrive pulley AND the alternator pulley you listed to use the stock belt. The underdrive is smaller and alt one is a little bigger but also lightweight so you can keep the stock belt and not have to worry about sizing issues.
Under driving the alternator with a smaller pulley.
So you you REALLY under driving the alternator with both.

Did no one else catch the fact that the Parts guy said no alternator pulley just generator............Don't look now but we don't have a generator. However I have found in the past that GM tends to call the alternator a generator. I guess old habits are hard to break.....
Ask to see the parts break down screen on the parts computer..... I'll bet you find the generator pulley is actually the alternator pulley......
Just my $.02
