my gatorback finally came in, so i installed it this morning.
Got it on, started it up (with no squeaking!!), and noticed the belt was off the bottom pulley by one rib. shut it off, re aligned the belt. bumped the starter a few times and it stayed in place.
started the car again, and once again its off by one rib (towards firewall) causing the belt to be on the edge of the pulley. I never had a prob with this running gates belts, but the gatorback grooves are a little different.
any suggestions? getting really tired of messing with belts on this car. cant wait to go turbo.
also- it is a metco 4lb pulley
