I just installed a used P600 on my '91 Z28 and I'm having a problem with the belt routing. I have the instruction manual which is useless for most things, including showing how to route the belt. Does anyone have a pic. they can post, or describe how it goes. I had it ran over the crank and blower with the non ribbed side on the top of both idler wheels and it jumped off and shredded as soon as I fired it up and gave it a little throttle.

 

It sounds like you had it routed correctly. Make sure all the pulleys are perfectly lined up and make sure the crank pulley is turning true.

 

Everything is lined up properly. The instructions say nothing about putting the P600 belt on, and I've searched for a week for a good pic of the belt routing. No has a picture of how the belt should be run?

 

Sounds like you had it correct.

it should lay on top of both the pulleys seen on this picture.

I have more pictures at home, but it sound like you had it correct........ A spring loaded tensioner it a good thing to build since the ATI tensioner is crap on theese old setups...

 

Thanks, gta324. I plan on switching to a spring tensioner soon. Do you know of a tensioner that works well for this setup?
