now i have a 88gt with a 3.1L out of a 92 buick regal.. now i dont know what size alt. it should have but the alt. went out and i put another junk yard one on it.. i know there is 2 sizes of them and there are 2 sizes of belts.. i got the bigger of the 2 belts and sometimes when i start the car it squels really bad and when i rev the motor up it it doesnt quit... it only stops after like 5 mins or when i put some pb blaster on it... its driving me insane...any help is greatly appreciated...

How much play is in the belt?

The tensioner can only take up so much.

i got about a half an inch of play up and down... so should i get the smaller belt...

Yeah I smaller belt should do the trick. My belt is very tight

ok guys thanks..

Also, make sure you have a new or fairly good tensioner. It should be difficult to move it by hand without tools, but if in doubt, replace it. Its cheap.

ok thanks for th info.... i will pay attention to that....

i got the new belt on and it works great... i had to go with the shorter belt... the tensioner seems good to me but im no mechanic...

Congrats on the fix.

Now make plans to attend with us in PA in September.

It's gonna be a good one!

yea i live in mansfield ohio so its like a couple hours from pa so idk yet...
