well if you have a stock alt bracket with the stock pullies on em, use a 45in belt and she'll treat ya right!! if you have underdrives (I just swapped mine on) and it seems that it still fits nice and snug, so I would go with the 45 with either imo, it has worked both times for me..

If you need to measure, use weed eater string and add 1 inch. Works perfectly for me, saves alot of headache!
