Help with Generator Belt!
I just removed my original crank pulley and installed a 7" Aluminum degree pulley. I cannot get the original Metric Belt to it's right tension. I shifted all the shims on the generator pulley but had no success in getting the belt back to the right tension. I did notice the degree pulley has a wider and deeper grove. Anyone know what belt I need. A belt number would be a big help.
Also the Bentley says 29 to 36 Ftp on the steel pulley. I torqued the aluminum to 40.

11.3 X 912 and I guess the belt PN: 9730798
73-77, Spr 73-79, Ghia 73-74 Alternator Belt, 11.3 x 912 mm
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.
