air horns and NAPA belt tension gauge

[Tom Warner]

Tom you have the wrong Kriket. I believe the one you have is for
checking the tension on the support lines for the Bay Bridge.
Take it back and get part number 20066389 which measures belts up to
7/8" wide. You want a Kriket l which goes from
30-150# http://tinyurl.com/e3nz4 . I have one and its the best
$9 I ever spent. I posted the Bluebird recommended tensions for your
belts on the forum site under 3208 Belts.
