Just finished restoring a 1972 Charger 10 and cant figure out belt installation.  Anyone know of a video or other help?

I can't supply a picture of the belt routing, bur it is fairly easy. Your drive belt is 5/8" wide and 85" long (4L-850 or B-82). There is a spring loaded flat belt idler that will ride above the belt. With the lever for the idler pulled up the belt can be placed around the engine pulley, under the little finger on the engine to retain the belt, under the idler and around the pulley on the transmission pump. The belt will have a lot of slack in it at this point. Release the lever so the spring loaded idler will come in contact with the belt and tighten it. Install the belt guard being sure the piece of angle iron on the guard is under the belt( it is there to pick up the slack of the belt when the lever is pulled up stopping the belt).

Perhaps Paul @pfrederi will have a picture of this, he has several Chargers.

If you pay attention to @pfrederi and @Achto‘s pictures and not mine, you can put together how it should go.  Around the engine and trans pulleys and under the tensioner.
