Hello everybody. Long time Mopar owner 1st time poster. I have a 1969 satellite that I cloned into a roadrunner. Dropped in a 383 backed up with a 727 tranny. Project car always running into issues. My go to guy was my stepdad and he passed away. Look forward to getting lots more f info here.

We can't replace your StepDad. Nobody can.
We can help with tech questions, how to pick up women, how to cook a steak and where to find parts.
Welcome.

Thanks my most recent issue is squealing belts after an AC install. Alignment seems good. I’m wondering if I’m missing an idler pulley and if so where does it go?

This is how a 1970 setup looks. Not sure about earlier years.

I still get belt squeal sometimes but from the small belt that drives the fan and water pump.

Welcome from the former home state of your new neighbors. The squeak may be from mis matched belts[ should be a matched pair], being loose, poor quality belts, glazed pulleys, accessory mis alignment[ pulleys not in line with each other] and some other possibilities.

The most prevalent squealing sound accompanying these cars is the one
your bank account makes....

I've done everything I can think of changed out the belts brand new matching set. added spacers on both sides to change alignment

Thanks for all the welcome and comments. Still got a long way to go before she’s worthy of such praise.

Just curios , Saw a car like mine at a show and he is only running one belt on his a/c alternator with 2 groove set up. Any one else doing this with good results, still chasing that belt squeal

Welcome from Canada! Do the belts squeal if the air conditioning is off? Does the compressor pulley turn freel?
