90A Alternator noise questions

[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Let's get the lame question out of the way - did you put belt dressing on?

Or, too much tension?

OR - are you sure it's not the A/C compressor I gave you seizing???  (I hope
not and hopefully, you haven't charged the system yet...)

G/L, Jeff
