Pontiac V8 Rebuild, Part 22:  How to Install March Performance Accessories and Belt Tensioning.

Almost done! Time to finalize the March Performance install! If Mike can do this at home, so can you! “How to install March Performance Accessories and Belt Tensioning”, is Part 22 of this Pontiac 400/455 rebuild, but can be applied to all motor types. A serpentine belt cleans up your engine bay, and provides a much more reliable way to run all of your engine accessories; Power steering pump, A/C compressor, Alternator, and Water pump. No more throwing Belts!

This particular video is the installation of the March Performance “Style Track” Accessories, like the Power Steering Pump, and Air Conditioning Compressor. Mike also explains how to use the belt tensioning tool.

Did you ever consider Vintage Air’s Front Runner?. A much better system than March Performance.
