Belt squeal (while accelerating)/alternator question
Thanks for the help everyone. I drove the truck around yesterday without the belt on the a/c compressor and there is no squeal. I should have started this project by removing belts but the heat on the alt belt and pulley grabbed my attention. It’s kinda weird because I didn’t have any issues...- dec322

Belt squeal (while accelerating)/alternator question
I did read about the different size crank and water pump diameters causing issues. Thanks for the pics...it does help. I am changing the wire size because the amps on the old alternator was 66 and the new one is 98. I won't change the pulley size and was talking about changing the belt to sit...- dec322

Maybe this would cause the heat issue on the pulley? This is interesting as I left the lights on the other night and had to jump...- dec322

Belt squeal (while accelerating)/alternator question
Thanks for the input. I’ll post pictures tomorrow. The squeal is happening with 3 different alternators (and different pulleys) but the same belt. I read somewhere that you can disconnect the alternator and see if it eliminates the squeal/heat. This is supposed to differentiate between an...- dec322

Belt squeal (while accelerating)/alternator question
Hi all! I have an 84 scottsdale with a stock 305. I have been fighting with a squeal that is most pronounced during acceleration. I bought this from a buddy in a different state and have owned it about a year. The squeal would come and go but now it's here to stay. Here is what has been...- dec322

I bought the parts needed to rebuild mine. Got 90% done on one side (couldn’t get the pivot pin in right) and gave up. Precision rebuilt them and it was totally worth it.- dec322
