Default Sqeeling noise

Evey time I start my car there is a sqeeling noise on the pully area but always stops after about 20 to 30 seconds, doesn't appear to be any play on pulleys on water pump or power steering. Altinator is new. No leaks at water pump. Ideas?? Tis is on 1968 b.B 427.

yep...I bet it is a loose belt... it will squeel till it warms up and then it will grab. This should take about 6 minutes to fix with a 1/2 and or 9/16 wrench.
