So, IIRC, to get Adams elected you just have to flip Pennsylvania, or maybe Somehow flip South Carolina, but I am more curious, if Adams does win re-election, then does Jefferson become his Vice-President again, or does it go to Pinckney or Burr?
If Adams wins, that means a majority of electors are voting Federalist, so as each elector casts two votes there will be more votes for Pinckney than for Jefferson or Burr.

OTL, one Federalist Elector voted for John Jay, so that Pinckney was one vote behind Adams. If there are no other defections, and the Federalists lead by more than one vote, then Adams and Pinckney are elected. If you get a three-way tie for second place, then the Senate has to choose a VP, and being safely Federalist it will choose Pinckney. OTOH, if Jefferson and Burr get an equal vote and each gets more votes than Pinckney, you have the odd situation of a Federalist Senate having to choose between two Democratic-Republicans for VP.
