Thanks Ken. I got some of that around here someplace, I'll find it and give it a try.
I believe the real problem is, the alternator is a replacement with a double sheave pulley, only one of which has a belt. If I belt the other one, there won't be sufficient wrap on the power steering pump to spin it. I suspect the replaceme4nt alternator is a higher amppere one than originally fitted and a single belt isn't sufficient to spin it under load.
