What belt size are you using 90Stang? The right size belt is a bitch to get on but will not squeal. You have to loosen the alternator and push it forward (toward the tensioner) as far as it will go and then squeeze the belt on. Then use a pry bar to pull the alternator back and stuff the bolt back in the top.

Over heating 85 5.0
OK I have an 85 5.0 that I just built with Afr heads, e303 cam, hyperthecnic pistons and so on. It is a carb set up. I had ordered the same water pump that was on the original 5.0 and watched as I satarted the car that it spins the blades on the pump the wrong way. The pump is pulling towards the passenger side and the fins are turning towards drivers side. and it was flowing out of my radiator bad. So I bought a pump for a 93 5.0 and thta spins towards the passenger side. But I am still over heating. way past the h. I also removed the ac and air pump with kits. the heat out of the vents is nice and hot and both heater hoses get nice and hot, but once it over heats in a matter of 5-10 mins you hear it bubble in the radiator. I did air lift the engine before I installed the coolant. Anybody out the have any ideas on what I can do next?? I could use any kind of info. I also have a 180 degree thermostat in it. Thanks
