squealing fan belt
On my 66, 200 cid/3 speed, alternator equipped, I get a little fan belt squeal when I rev the engine after starting up (after a few days sitting...not when warm). This goes away after a couple of rev's. If I turn on the headlights, it's a couple more squeals but now this includes after warm starts. If I turn on the euro fog lights, it's pretty much a light squeal every time you rev the engine (or downshift into second). No apparent electrical problems, lights don't dim or brighten significantly, turns over great. Battery is at least 10 years old but seems to do the job; it turned over strong while in storage when I started it each month on a 35-degreewinter day.What should I be measuring and where for amp's or volt's and what should I get for readings? Do I need a new battery or new/bigger alternator? I'm not running any other accessories except the occasional heater fan or original AM radio. Could this be damaing the voltage regulator?
