   before the show n shine while I was cleaning up my engine, I pushed on the alternator belt and I thought it felt kind of brittle.   So I finally got around to changing out the belt, just in case it goes on my on my way to Fiero Fest next month. 

So if you haven't changed or checked your belt in more than 4 or 5 years, perhaps it's time to at least check it.
