911 / 914-6 Fan Belt Tension
Since you cannot see the belt welll enough to measure deflection after reinstalling into a 914/6 what is the best way to be sure you have the tension correct? I installed my alternator today...left one shim between the pulley halfs and 5 on the outside. I tightened everything down and fired her up. The voltmeter shows just over 14 volts now. I turned it off and tightened the nut a bit more and made sure the belt was seated properly. The belt feels a bit loose...I can twist it between my fingers a half turn. Do you think I am good to go or should I move all shims to the outside and see if that seems to feel better?

1 in 5 out, you are set
 Keep an eye on it, they tend to fall apart after awhile, next time consider an OEM belt

belt size
What is the correct size fan belt for a 914/6 motor that has been upgraded to a
90amp internally regulated alternator with a new pulley half with (8 holes) and standard crank pulley. I have a 10x725 Continental on it. Our host says the belt for a 69-73 is a 9.5 x 710??

Hmmm, sorry I only know 911's, the set up for us is the opposite, conti's are smaller ergo 1 in 5 out.
Best thing is to contact Pelicans, they are the best in customer service.
