Update on this very exciting topic:
I put the old chewed up alternator belt back on and was only able to tension it very loosely. Then I drove out of town to an autocross event, ran all day, then drove it home. Belt never came off. I am thinking that the new belt I bought was too long, or otherwise wrong in some way. |

Mcmark did a very thorough test to determine the best available belt to use. Here’s a link. The contitech he recommends is perfect.
