Belt slipping at start and under heavy Accel

[93PlymLaser]

HELP! Please. Well it started out at it would only squeel when I turned my A/C on (still only occasionally). I recently lost my rear alternator bolt, and replaced it with a makeshift one. And now it will squeel on startup for less than 30 seconds. Then when I punch it from Idle it also squeels. This is in neutral. And when I turn of the engine the pulley on the alternator is very hot around the belt area.(which is whats making me thing it is slipping there). This is on a 1993 Plymouth laser 1.8L. Any ideas? Thanks in Advance.

Tighten the belt

Also, check your harmonic balancer. I don't know if it's a much of a "usual" failure point on a 1.8.

Once a belt's been polished, it's just about done for.
