Belt problem after cam install

Well, finally got the car running with the new 224/236 comp cam and the ported heads (supercharged car). Anyway, after idling for about 10 minutes (it sounds really good BTW), I see a piece of the belt start flapping. So I quickly shut it down and reinspect everything. My accessory belt is screwed, it ate it up real good, but my supercharger belt was just beginning to walk off the pulleys. Guess I'll need to get a pre OBD2 hub since I put on the double roller timing chain with the new cam. Man, I'm going to be a hundred before I get to drive this thing, but wow, did it sound good. Any suggestions where I can get an older crank hub so my belts will last longer than 5 minutes?

Thanks guys

Maybe your hub isn't installed all the way?

I'm pretty sure it is, I used a threaded rod with some nuts/washers and a socket to press the hub on. I tightened it pretty good, but I'll give it another try. I'm wondering if the pulley is offset to one side? Maybe I'll try flipping it around and see what I get.
