I fitted the two belts on the V8 last night. Took me some time to figure out where the tensioner pivot should be set. I set both to the extreme. If I set the other extreme the belt will be completely loose. The picture below is the engine right after I off loaded from the pickup truck four months ago. My question is, what is the correct position to lock the bolt on both tensioners to set the degree of pivot?

to the max, the spring controls the correct tension through the life of the belts.
