How do I make sure timing belt pulleys match up to the belt tooth spacing ? Is that called pitch ? The scenario I am thinking of is when I have a smaller pulley on a motor shaft, and a larger one on a wheel shaft, with a belt connecting the two and transferring power. Thanks !

Pitch is the center to center distance of the teeth. BTW the belts come in both curved tooth and trapazoidal tooth You might want to review search on "timing belt". they have a lot of info that you will need.

So if I get 2 different diameter pulleys with the same pitch and type of teeth, the both should fit the same kind of belt, right ?
Various belt widths, also.
