<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: olredalert</div><div class="ubbcode-body">----Donnie,,,,This is such a minor thing that I hesitate to mention it,,,but, the window cranks should be some where between the 7and 8 position when the window is all the way up. Seems almost stupid to mention it, but it's true. You have a Chevelle I would love to own and I have been watching your progress since day 1. Absolutely top shelf job!!!!!........Bill S </div></div>
Bill, do both sides get put at 7 to 8? or one side 7 to 8 and the other side 4 to 5?

I took the car for its first drive on the street yesterday. if you plan on driving your car DONT put repop belts on it only went 3 to 4 miles and tossed the fan belt and turned the power steering inside out.
got the front end aligned today now I have a couple bugs to work out.

Whose aftermarket belts do you have on it? I have heard people complain about Quanta belts and I have been using them for over 10 years with no known issues.

Rick, Most of the cars that you and I restore - are mostly Trailer Queens....you won't find many weekend drag cars or PSMCDR guys using Quanta Belts. It's a great factory correct product....just not good for over 6000 rpm. Dan

I tried the Quanta belts on my Chevelle & Camaro and had the same twisting problem at high RPM. So worried it would damage the curved neck radiator I switched to Napa belts also.
