DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT
If belt has been in service for some time, inspect for
general condition of the belt before attempting an ad
justment. Replace the belt if it is severely cracked or oil-
soaked.
(1) Install Belt Strand Tension Gauge J-23600 on
longest accessible span of belt, midway between pulleys
(fig. 1E-17).
NOTE: Eight-cylinder engines with air conditioning
use dual drive belts. When testing belt tension, attach
Tension Gauge to one belt only. Testing both belts si
multaneously will give an inaccurate tension. When us-
ing the gauge on a notched belt, position the middle
finger of the gauge in the notched cavity of the belt.
(2) Loosen alternator pivot bolt and adjusting strap
bolt.
CAUTION: Do not pry against the rear housing be
cause the aluminum casting will be damaged.
(3) Adjust alternator by prying against front hous
ing. Use alternator bracket as pivot point (fig. 1E-18).
(4) Rotate alternator on pivot bolt until specified
belt tension is obtained. Refer to Specifications.
(5) Tighten adjusting strap bolt and pivot bolt while
maintaining specified tension.
