https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif I have tried just about all that I can,but once it starts to rev over 4,000 the belt starts to slip.I have changed belts (twice),no change. Used Belt no-slip (glue in a can) & still nothing.I even put a nut & bolt through the adjusting bracket & butted it tight to the alternator in hope that it would prevent slippage, but still after 20 min. it starts to squel again. ANy other suggestions 'cause I sure could use em.Thanks

Rough the pulley up so the belt can grip a little better, might go through belts a little quicker but not a whole lot

You could do the dual alternator belt pulley as well...if you have the proper emissions gear removed.

if you have the smog pump off then a dual alt belt pulley is the best bet, I have had similar issues when running single belt.
