Maybe spacer is the wrong choice of words. Maybe I'll take a pic.

Check to make sure that all of your pulleys line up perfectly. My friend's power steering belt blew because his pulley wasn't on quite far enough. Barely noticeable, but the extra tension on one side of the belt tends to screw it up. Just my $.02.

The altenator appears to be on right. I don't see a spacer though. I checked it last night, and the tension seems to be good still. Any pics would be helpful.
