Engine locked up.

I don't think the engine is seized. I was tuning my carb, dropped the idle too low and it stalled. Now it doesn't turn over. There is oil in the engine. I think it's one of two things, the starter took a :censored: and doesn't have the strength to spin the engine over in the compression stroke (I can't either)...or one of the accessories locked up and it's dragging the engine. I can't get the V belts off. Don't see a tensioner except on the alternator belt. I am not against cutting because I have replacements ready to go.

Does your car have a single serpentine belt?  :eagle:

Still Pat:
Before you decide it's locked up, pull the spark plugs & try turning it over. Compression makes it hard to turn one over.
