I had the front accessories off the other day, had some brackets and ect powdercoated, got it all back together and the belt keeps running off 1 groove on the AC compressor towards the back. It's got me puzzled and cannot figure out what the deal is :shrug:

Had this for the first time with a serp belt a couple months ago on the 82.

I had failed to reinstall the belt correctly, and cut some of the v parts of the belt. When I found it, the damage was enough that even correctly installed, it kept jumping a groove.

New belt fixed it.
 
I rechecked all the mounting bolts, I did not torque the 2 front bolts under the compressor enough. I loosened em all, torqued down all the rear bolts, then the lower fronts and the main top, I havent had the car out yet but I feel safe to say the problem is most likely fixed.
