pinto cam belt tension
How did you set you cam belt tension on a pinto, use any gauge or just half inch of movement as some mention?
Also is it ok not to use the spring as it was not on my old engine.
cheers
Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

Not a half inch of belt movement --- the standard test is if you can give it a half twist of belt movement on the longest
run.

Get hold of the belt with finger and thumb on it edges, on the longest run and trist it. Should get 90' turn (without all the force you can
muster).

90 degrees
Just to clarify , you should be able to turn the belt 1/4 of a twist = 90 degrees
