[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 16161349, member: 35549"] When you say forward do you mean towards the front of the car? I'm just asking to clarify. If you look at the blower pulley pic you can see the belt riding closer to the blower side of the pulley. I would check the alternator alignment for that. And it's been a long time, but isn't there a ribbed pulley on that side of the timing cover as well? I remember having to add a shim under a pulley on that side to get things aligned correctly. I used a laser alignment tool and found one of my pullies was half a rib width off. It was enough to cause all kinds of issues. FWIW, I ran the Thump tensioner on my 01 Cobra with the F1A and once I got things aligned it never shredded a belt or slipped. And I didn't need two people to put the belt on. All tight belts do is kill main bearings. [/QUOTE]
