<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?

----Donnie,,,Both should face forward and down. I should have made that clear. Sorry!

----Also sorry it took me so long to answer, but I just got back from a short trip.....Bill S

**Donnie** · #**475** 03-15-2015, 07:45 PM

no problem Bill.
so 7 to 8 passenger side and 4 to 5 driver side.

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.

**Donnie** · #**478** 07-06-2015, 09:59 PM

Rick, they were Quanta. if the car never sees any rpm's there fine.
I ran it up testing things out and lost them.
picked up a couple made in the USA napa belts today and no 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.

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.
