Re: '66 427 Biscayne - Don Breen
It's been referred to as the "flee the scene" belt so your water pump keeps turning after you toss the alternator belt. There's nothing worse than being on the side of the road after a street race putting the alternator belt back on when Buford T. Justice rolls up behind you.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: novadude</div><div class="ubbcode-body">So what keeps the idler belt from getting tossed just like the alternator belt? </div></div>
The large pulley on it along with the fact that it's closer location to the water pump doesn't have the same large span as the long floppy alternator belt has. Shorter belts tend to stay more stable.

Re: '66 427 Biscayne - Don Breen
Mikey,
Haven't been back lately (since I imported my honey last fall). Don keeps me posted on his projects. He sent me a bunch of chassis assembly photos which I misplaced. I'll ask him to forward those and I'll post them here.... talk about car porn!!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]
