Thats what I thought to begin with, I had a set of belts from our host and had the same problem, so I got a belt from the local auto supply- same result. I will try a new belt from either our host or another supplier (any suggestions??). Does anyone happen to have the correct belt number? Fluid is ok- that the first thing I check everytime I drive the car. Thanks for the help & I will try a different belt. Just a thought could it be a wrong pulley????

Thanks again

Maybe it's the wrong pulley?
In other words, maybe the right belt is wrong for the part you used since you were kind of piecing it together.

Larry, is the steering box a stock ratio box? And is the flow control valve in the pump the correct (low pressure) one for the box? I changed my 66 to a quick ratio box and with the required high pressure control valve in my pump I get a chirping squeal when the box hits the locks at full travel. I put the low pressure valve back in as a test just to see what would happen and could hold the wheel on the lock at full travel with no squeal. This is normal for the high pressure so I learned to live with the noise on those occasions where I need to make tight turns.
