Any easy way to remove a threaded insert when you put JB weld? A stepped bit works for opening the those Chevy brackets. Hopefully it will work where I reinforced where I shouldn't have.

Test fire, bled the power steering. Runs fine, no belt walk. I do hear the serpentine system but I am not used to no exhaust leaks and the tiny peanut cam in the 260. Not super noisy, just not silent. Now fitting the 70 rad will take a little saws all action.
I got the 70 rad in, I cut the bottom off the support where it necks down on the passenger side and it just fits. I will take a video tomorrow of the serpentine setup in action.
It does kind of sound like it but shouldn't be. New alternator, new A/C clutch and bearing. The idler and tensioner turn smooth.
Congrats!!! I listened to it thru my TV and surround sound.
It does have a weird sound, but it doesn't sound like a bearing to me.
Here is the video of mine running.

Larry, I think the belt is too tight. I will keep that belt as an emergency spare. For serpentine length, the last 3 numbers are the length in inches correct? So my 950 is 95", correct? I can get a 955, 95.5" and a 967, 96.7" belt in town. Not sure 1/2" will reduce tension enough, way tighter than my Dakota and even tighter than the less 30000 KM belt on my Challenger. I know the rope method. I was originally going to go with a 960 belt, I should have. I spun everything by had the only bad sound was a squeak from my brand new Remy alternator but turned smooth. I may need to check it again.
