>> The shaft is not long enough to put a spacer on to line it up with the other pulleys. <<

A Google search for a "Double Groove Alternator Pulley" for 10DN or 10Si will produce a dozen companies selling them. The bracket under your alternator usually has an opening larger than the thickness of the Alt. A spacer is used to fill the extra space and is placed to move the Alt forward.
Check and see what you have for a lower bracket before you start messing with spacers and double pulleys.

>>and caused gas to leak out around the fuel inlet.<<

If that large fuel nut is leaking, loose that stupid filter. If you can get that large nut to stop leaking, never take it off again. Use an inline filter before the carb or before the fuel pump and never be troubled by that 1" filter again.
