| you need to make sure that all your pullies are aligned, use a straight edge and look, you adjust them by adding washers behind the brackets, as for the engines best of luck getting that olds engine though. |

Is the tension set correctly? Are any of the pulleys damaged (EG bent lip)? If both belts come off at the same time, look at the pulleys they share in common.
You can find Olds engines in a lot of cars. Here is a list off the top of my head.
1978-87 Olds Cutlass "G-Body" (Not a Ciera) Watch for Canadian built cars, those will have Chevrolet engines in them.
B-Body (Delta 88) cars from 89 and older.
A-Body 68-72 (Cutlass, F-85, 442) You can find a 330 Olds in pre 68 Cutlii and F-85 cars.
Delta 98 77-84
Toronado 1979-85
There are more, including some non-olds bodied cars.
One thing to remember is that these cars often had more than one engine option. You will want to look at the block code, which is located on the top side of the timing cover, next to the oil fill tube, as seen in this pic-
This site can help you decipher the codes. It is a great resource, but not the authority on Oldsmobile. There is a lot of misinformation in here, but the block codes are good as far as I know.
I'd hit the yellow pages and start making the rounds at the yards. 307's are common as dirt around here, I would think they would be there too.
Hope this helps! |

Oldsmobile 5.0L (8-307).
Change induction, exhaust & electrical systems as necessary.
A.T. engines are not machined to accept a pilot bushing.
When using older engines in newer applications, make sure knock sensor can be transferred when used.
Engines with oval exhaust ports (3150's) fit engines with square exhaust ports (3050's) when the notes are followed.
Engines with square exhaust ports (3050's) fit engines with oval exhaust ports (3150's) only if they are equipped with cast iron exhaust manifolds.
They will not fit engines with stainless steel exhaust manifolds because the stainless steel exhaust manifolds will not cover the square exhaust ports.
|A| thru |E| interchange as shown in notes.
Quote:
C -----------
VIN "Y", option LV2.
RWD.
Oval exhaust ports.
Computer controlled emissions.
Cast iron exhaust manifolds.
Knock sensor used '86 up.
|B| & |D| fit |C|; |A| & |E| fit |C| by transferring oil pan & pick-up tube.
3050D (8-307) fits as an assembly (intake manifolds cannot be transferred).
Quote:
B -----------
VIN "Y", option LV2.
VIN "9", option LG8.
RWD.
Oval exhaust ports.

You've got a short somewhere. A fuse won't blow unless the circuit it's protecting gets it's power shorted to ground. This will increase the amp draw on the circuit, and blow the fuse.
I would bet when you put the new fender on, something got pinched, but it is possible that the two are unrelated. |
