Hey guys, thanks for the help! I got it in and works good. I think my volt gauge is a little bit lazy because when I turn the key "on" it reads a tad below 12 and with the engine running slightly above 13.

Will test drive soon!!

EDIT: One last question. I think I read on a different thread on the list that to tension it by hand, you tension it until you can rotate the belt only about 1/4 turn? Thats about what it was before I took the old one off and is how I tensioned it today. Is that about right?
