BB A/C belt problem
My A/C belt wore a hole in the lower radiator hose. Truck is a '72 2wd. Blazer, fact. A/C with a mild 454. I've driven it (HARD) for a year w/no problem but apparently when I started using the A/C the belt whipped a little a rubbed the hose. The belt rubs right on the bulge in the hose at the water pump outlet. I made a little stainless shield to protect the hose but there's NO clearance. ANYBODY have this problem? I have an aluminum water pump and crank pulley.. all the pulleys line up good. Don't see many things to adjust to fix this
