Another trick: Take a 1x3 or 1x4 piece of wood (about a foot long) or similar. When you loosen the bolt on the alternator, the easiest way to move it is to put the end of the wood against it and gently tap with a hammer. then re-tighten the bolt before re-tensioning the belt.
I'm finding that a new belt loses its tension pretty quickly as it runs in. I've gone from 60-70 lb down to 40 lb a couple of times with my new belt. I'm still re-adjusting it to get it to stay at 60-70. Next time I have a new belt, I'd start at around 90 lb and watch to see if it drops to 60-70.
Good idea! How are you measuring the pressure?

You may want to check these. I have not used them but the guys in my British car club like them.

Hate to sound negative, but the last place I would take suggestions from on automotive electrics is from an
organization involving British cars.

Noah's suggestion to use the wiring kit from CD. That gets you the color code for the main harness. I wouldn't frett about the colors for the start button wires etc.
I want to rebuild my whole panel with new gauges. Mine are pretty well sun busted. Does anyone have a source for the gauges sold in the kit sold by CD? They are lit in a way that makes them SO MUCH easier to see at night. I have snooped around but have yet to find the ones used by the factory.
