I have searched the forums and could not find an answer for this. I keep wearing the sides of the belts i put on. I have the march pulleys and it seems to me that the alt. pulley is not wide enough for the belt. I have replaced all the pulleys other than the ac and ps pulley also have done a smog delete and run an 88.5 belt. This is killing me, i cant even drive the car for long periods of time before chewing up edges of the belt. Any ideas would be great, thanks!!!

Did you do the March pulleys and the smog delete at the same? If so you might want to change one back and see if you still shred belts. If they stop shredding, then you found you're problem, if not then try putting the other back to stock. Just try to narrow it down as much as possible.

same as above, however if you say it is your alt. pulley that seems to be out of wack, put a spacer or something behind it, or if they have one factory, did you forget it?
