Belt Problems!!

[stangz4life]

Ok my problem is that my smog pump froze..i planed on bypassing it i looked around and i have read that the belt needed is a 89.5 i bought it and seams to long, now i have tried so many diff ways of routing it ...please can someone give me a diagram or tell me the right way ...car is down.....hell i cant even remember the way the original goes now

here you go

Says to use an 84.5" belt when deleting the SMOG pump.. there is your problem

Mavrick that looks like a diagram for a Fox.

i'm pretty sure that diagram is for a fox. our belt goes over the tensioner not under.

smog delete belt routing 94-95

I used this routing with a 895k6 belt with good results with underdrive pullies.

Ah sorry guys, i really gapped that one..

Well thank you she is up and running ...thanks for the diagram.i greatly appreciate it.

Keep a spare belt with you, I have had one come off and eat itself. There isn't enough tension around the power steering pump using this method and belt size, if you have underdrive pulleys.

Once the belt starts to get broken in, if you pop your hood and turn the steering wheel you can see the belt walking on the power steering pump pulley.

SmokinGT50...would a shorter belt size eliminate the problem you mention?

 

[SmokinGT50]

Yes, but I can't find one. No one makes an 89K6 and the 88 was too short. I am considering putting the bypass pulley on and the stock belt back, for reliability reasons.
