Stop in for a cup of coffee

Oh boy.
Thank you. If the new alt. and the VR don't fix it then I definitely will rewire that circuit.
I am at a standstill tonight because I got the wrong belts from o'reillys (I am not sure how they gave me the wrong belts, but both of them were about an inch too short.) I even made a string template by wrapping string around the pulleys to get the EXACT right measurement.
I am separating the water pump and alternator belts because I was running the alternator belt on that front snout thing on the alternator. Not the actual pulley and I think that is what killed the alternator in the first place.
so tomorrow is going to be belt mania to make it all work.


It sounds like you don't have the proper pulleys and are trying to put a band-aid on the belt issue...

Get the proper pulleys and keep the factory belt routing....
