This isn't working out well, are muffler belt box bearings left hand threads? I'm so confused...Tedd

Make sure you do not have a metric crescent wrench or you may cause your power band to break while you are installing those bearings.
============================
Good point!
I have actually seen adjustable wrenches embossed in metric like "100mm"
Must be good for metric fasteners, eh?
I see the Razin Volt Stabilizer works on ALL the big ones
Plug
Lamp
Audio
ECU, &
Sensor
WOW!!
I am putting one of these 2-belt NOT-serpentine systems on a 440 Mopar for another person. I am not impressed. Water pump bolts must be changed to button head- they have at most TWO threads of engagement. $900 and the bolts are not even stainless. Bolt for PS pivot is too long, hits head before coming tight. Not enough room behind their bracket piece for a nut [only 0.30" available]. WHY did they not just thread their bracket hole and use a shorter bolt? Alternator pivot spacer won't go in... moved movable sleeve ALL the way aft out of the way, not better. Measure, grind end off to fit. Looking at notes later- the gap is like 3.385" in the alternator, between ears. Instructions say to use the 3.340" spacer... only later did I notice that I had been measuring the spacer and reading 3.340" but it was actually 3.440" - 0.100" too long. Crikey. Pretty sure there were no other similar length spacers in the kit to confuse it with.

Has anyone else tried installing one of these? I have the red tipped wire going to battery per instructions but am not clear if the other wire goes straight into the gas tank via the vent tube. Also should this wire be fused? Cannot wait to fire this thing off and feel the awesome power.........

Ted....Both.... Left for the left side belt box, right on the right. Be sure to use the proper NIST calibrated screwdriver for each side. Do not attempt to use a right hand screwdriver on the left for obvious safety concerns. Always wear a padded helmet when installing the belts especially on vintage vehicles.
