429 snapping alt. belts
hey guys this isn't in a truck but i have a question that has had me and my brother baffled. we put a 429 in his '78 thunderbird, the engine has been rebuilt, bored .030 over with a mild cam. it also has a wieland intake and 4brl carb if that matters. so far we have snapped 6 or so alternator belts and we can't seem to find a reason. the pulleys are lined up perfect and it still does it. the brackets are older stamp steel pieces but it is a completely factory setup. the most recent one that broke we found and it actually chewed ribs off the bottom before it broke. oh, and as best as we can tell it's not rubbing on anything.
