78 sc belt

Dan,
Pelican has a "how-to" for this here: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...3-Fan_Belt.htm
The important thing is to make sure that there are six shims that set belt tension. Some of the shims are on the inside of the pulley, and some on the outside. If it was an older belt, the width may have been 9.5mm. They are now all 10mm, so the location of the six shims may be different to get the right tension on the new belt.
Here is some additional info on that: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...ero-shims.html

If he has no tool kit, you can get this wrench in the aftermarket. Sounds like you managed without it though.
Check that the nut remains tight. One of the first signs of an issue is the nut loosens.
