Default Pulley Help!

my damn belt will not quit squeaking! the squeak is coming from the supercharger pulley. that is where its the loudest. no matter what i do it squeals! if i put belt dressing on it then it just gets louder and if i put wd-40 on it then it goes away for a min then comes right back. whats wrong. the only thing i can think of is that my sc pulley is not dead in line with all the others. its just a lil bit off, but there is nothing i can do about it its as far in as the bracket will allow it to go

What brand of belt? [/align][/align]I have no experience with Mustang's, however I drove Eaton supercharged Miatas for over 6 years (where we were pulling the s/c with a 4-rib belt) and found that Goodyear Gatorback and Dayco PolyCog were the only belts that could do the job--quietly and for more than 10k miles.I used to get 25k from a Dayco, and less than 10k with all sorts of problems from Gates, Kelley-Springfield, and the other FLAPS brands.[/align][/align]Bando's are also good, but hard to find.[/align]

If it doesn't have "cogged" ribs (like this), get one that does. Advance Auto Parts doesn't stock them, but they can generally get any size you need in a day, sometimes in the same day.
