Alternator wiring

[Ron Hill]

John : I use a Gates 7400 belt.  Look in "Projects" and you'll see a photo of it.  I'd stick to a belt with "teeth" as it aides cooling and therefor has a better grip than a solid belt.  
If you're getting slippage I'd loosen the belt and remove it.  Then clean the the inside of the all pulleys with lacquer thinner to get off any grease.  Then replace the belt, tension it and make sure it's in alignment (with the alternator).  Also I wouldn't use "bet dressing".
