Re: IML: 1956 Imperial Generator/Power Steering Belts w/o A/C Matched Pair Recommended

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

The shop manual specifies it in order to keep the belts quiet. The 
manufacturing tolerances were that good. This is because the generator 
and the power steering pump are connected together, which puts lots of 
extra load on the belts. That is also why they are dual. If a pulley is 
worn out, or if the bracket is broken, these need to be 
repaired/corrected before the system will operate properly.

Irregular pulley ware, or manufacturing tolerances make the extra 
effort fruitless. Dave.
