Doh, never did see your run but was so wrapped up in my own little world that I didnt even think that you had a problem.

Man was that headwind nasty.

Ok Chuck you run an electric fan right? Also your crank pulley, is it the larger factory one or the smaller factory underdrive type? I ask as my 350 Olds I had before had the smaller factory crank pulley and never ever tossed a belt.

How bout we set that bad boy up with an electric waterpump. Then ditch any other accessory and use a 6rib short belt system to spin the altenator, similer to how Mikey has his. No more tossed belts and cooling system will work better. It's win win.

or

You're gonna have to use a large diameter deep groove altenator pulley to A: slow down the speed of it and B: keep the belt in groove. As V belts are the suck.

Bob, I didn't make a pass. On the drive out, I discovered the shifter cable needed adjusted, and the belt was wailing more than Balaska about rain. I would have tossed it had I tried to run. So I adjusted the cable there and just watched.

Ed, stock 1969 pulleys. I think it's the alt bracket. It's 2 pieces. When the car was slower, I was able to run with just the one piece. Hundreds of passes at 6000 rom later, I think it may have bent it forward to where it is now. I'm going to take the bracket off of the parts car and see if that helps. I do have a deep alt pulley if it comes to that.

I've thought about a Meziere, but that's out of budget for awhile.
