Question ..... What Setup Are You Running??? That You Can Adjust Tension?

Stock tensioner, the belt was just so short I had to pry,twist,and stretch it to get it on. It had the tensioner completly collapsed it was so tight.

Well, got it fixed. Two problems though, the belt I had at home is the same length as the one that came off. I was thinking it was a little longer, so I still gotta get another belt. Problem two is the 160 degree thermostat I was using will not fit in the new water pump so I am using the one that came with it, Its probably a 195. Not sure if thats really a big deal or not.

Thanks Kenny, I just went ahead and ordered a 160 from Jegs. Now I gotta make up my mind on what to do for a belt.
