That's some GREEN belt! I've never seen one before. This tool is very interesting. I'd just discovered you having watched your video on fuel pump sending unit adjustments. Very good. Recently a friend and I went nuts trying to figure out why the pulley's were out of alignment on a used car I'd bought. It turned out to be a missing spacer at one of the power steering pump adjustments, and being over tightened where the spacer would go. In addition to that the main mounting of the alternator hole had worn to being an oval. This was caused by someone in the past that had worked on the car. It took a lot of figuring on our part (eight hours) and once we realized something was wrong in the area that the spacer would go, we then rechecked the factory service manual diagram and that confirmed a spacer belonged there. We'd have found that out a lot sooner if the factory diagram had been drawn better. This had to be the most odd problem I'd experienced in all my years of working on cars.
I can't believe I didn't see this video before; really do need this product. I have had a chirping sound come from the engine since first time I fired it up. I had to modify an AC compressor relocation bracket I ordered from Kwik Performance. It involved removing material from one end and adding washers on the other. Thanks Terry!
@@Coverman66 Thanks Terry, I'm doing good. I sent off the steering column from my '87 Monte SS to be rebuilt. I get it back Monday. There are some weird electrical problems I've been having with the LS swap...just eliminating possible causes.
This is a good video mate. You should do a video about belt alignment where the belt that needs to be aligned is on the inside edge of a pulley with two belts. Like a power steering pump with the belt behind the main belt but both run of the balancer.
You must read my mind. I ate about 5 belts on my ls simple kit. I've even talked to murphy about it. Sometimes the belts stay on. Sometimes it slips to the rear of the crank pulley....going to buy that asap
@@Coverman66 still going strong LOL. parts are cheap. The supercharger is from a mini cooper S. I have a welding machine so i fab up my own brackets. the whole thing costed me like $1500. The part that costed the most in the kit was the ECU.......
Great video, liked and subscribed cause you explained it well 👍 Can you do a video or do you have a video of how to actually move the pullys if they're out of line? My alternator pully is out of line after a mechanic didn't put it in properly Also would you recommend an amature doing it? I've got alot of engineering experience but no car experience, is it difficult and can alot go wrong? Thanks alot for your help and stay safe
Hey Terry. I have been chasing a squeak for over a year. It's almost gone but still sneaks back in. What's the actual adjustment procedure? Shimming or pulling pressed on pulley's off and reinstalling at a different depth?
the steering pump has to be exact.. i heat the center and its easier to get off or press on to line up. the crank pulley you torque to 220ft lbs and thats where it should be..

thats coming up on the new engine im building.. stay tuned.. its going to be cool..
Great video , my belt on my 2001 firebird has been jumpen off almost everytime I hit a puddle.
Oh no! alignment time..
Thanks for another great video!
my pleasure.. thanks for viewing..
Nice pulley kit. Gonna need one of those for my Powerbond soon
lssimple is that place. lolol great product..

its a life and a belt saver lolol
i used this for my homebrew supercharged miata build XD.
how did it work out?

thats a great idea, i will do a video on the alternator.. thanks brotha CG..
Great video I know a few guys that could have used this tool.
lolol thats cool.. thanks..
That is a nice gadget to have! I'm wondering if they make one for old school v-belt setups?
i believe its a universal kit.
This will work on V belts. Just need a way to turn on the laser and aim it in the deep groove of the v
