Sound from Comptech - Need help identifying
Found the pulley and center bearing stuck in the undercarriage of the car. Bearing is completely seized. I'm guessing it's just old and eventually failed.
Got the new one in and installed with a new belt. However, in a test run I am only seeing 4 lbs of boost according to my gauges (should be 5.5, stock pulley). In a twist test the belt is twisting over 90 degrees fairly easily so I probably need to get more tension the problem is... how? I got it as tight as I could get it and it was loose. I loosened the adjusting nut slightly and tapped the arm with a rubber mallet and then retightened it to get where I'm at now. It still feels just as a loose. Then again there's not a lot of room to get a decent swing in there.
Any tips for getting the tension just right?

The older ones are NOVI 1000's vs 1220's in the newer kits. You should be able to read the number on the side of the housing.
Haven't gotten around to trying to re-tighten the belt. Getting over a cold this week
