belt tension
As i have been rooting around in the engine, i have had to undo the PS belt and the alternator belt. I have looked at all the local stores for a gauge to measure per the book, but no one has them,, is there another method that can be used on them
i noticed on the PS belt, its doing what seems fine, no wobble until i put it under pressure at hard right or left. it starts to flutter and squeak a bit..
alternate belt i put back by making a mark on the moveable track where the adjusting screw goes in and put the screw back to that point, but dont know if that was the proper location.
so is there an non gauge measure, like how far you can pull it up or anything.??

Old rule of thumb, belt should deflect (push down) about 1/2" at longest span. No need to measure., just eyeball it. HTH

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
Vintage Air AC

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
