Hey Guys,

It turned out that turning the engine counter clockwise made the manual tensioner kick back and loosen the belt tension. The belt didn't jump teeth, and I finally got everything lined up. The belt change went smoothly enough. I wound up setting the new manual tensioner to about the same spot as the old one was. The car is now running again. The old belt had cracks all over the rubber, and looked like it was about to go. The car had 140 K when I changed the belt, and from what I could find it had never been done before ( the car belongs to a friend of mine who I was helping). Kinda scarey, but nice to know it's safe now.

Thanks!
Dave
