As long as the squeal doesn't happen when your foot is on the clutch, its 
probably only a slightly loose alt. belt, especially if your car has lots of 
add-on electronics & big rad fans to suck up starting voltage. A 
clutch-related squeal is far more serious. But using large pry-bars to over-tension a 
vee belt is also an excellent way to prematurely wear out water pump 
bearings. Like Goldilocks, you gotta get the belt tension 'just right'.... FWIW- J
