My Chevelle's belts have started squealing at low rpm! I've tried changing them up to no avail! Its a right PITA.

Thanks for the input on Quanta belts. I have them on my 72 LT-1 survivor and will definitely be changing them out for current belts. I also have repros on my 71 Boss 351 - Marti belts, I believe. Are they prone to the same problems?

Are any of your pulleys powder coated?
