    Apologies but i do not have a copy of the handbook and cannot find one with the 3 belt setup. Car develops a squeal after running for a few minutes. Want to pull the belts and check bearings. Hoping its not the cam belt tensioners so wanted to start sith accessories. To do that I need the tension for the 3 belts in either lbs or kg. Cannot find a gates 150 but am comfortable using a kritkit. Tried searching but the only image i found on here for 3 belt lists the deflection.

    My manual belt specs for CH 1988 Mondial 3.2 (average of the ranges) : Water pump 6.5lb new 4.5 used - measured with .15 inch delflection on the middle of the belt (i.e no tensiometer use is noted)
    AC 47lb new, 41.5lb used, using a Gates tensiometer 150 (not longer available)
    Alternator New 73.5lb, used 68lb using the Gates tensiometer

    I use the krikit tool, seems to work fine and as I found it quite accurate on other cars I have played with I have no reason to expect it would not be similarly useful for the Ferrari. Absent a better guage or reproduction of the Gates 150, I am unaware of other practical choices to measure tension.

    I should have said this was for a 3.0 qv but i would assume that stayed the same between the two models.
