Hi all,
My '81 300D is eating alternator belts, and it appears to be a pulley alignment issue. The pulley cheeks are all in pretty good shape, and the belt is wearing out on *one side only* - on close inspection, it seems to be because it's being pulled out over one side of the pulley lip too much which is grinding into the side of the belt. The fan and driveshaft pulleys appear to be correctly aligned, but the alternator is sitting too far back for some reason. Anyone have a trick for getting it lined back up? Do I need a spacer, etc?
Thanks, Andy Evans
