Just got this car a little while ago and the belt is done for....anyway, the car still has A/C, but the smog pump has been removed, what belt should i get that will fit? (stock pulleys btw)
BTW the belt was a trial and error thing, made 4 trips to the store to get the right size in the end. The string method doesnt work since the belt stretches when you let the tensioner down.
It's gonna take something close to an 84" belt -- but each car is a bit different depending on pulley size (underdrives change things), position/condition of the tensioner, etc. I bought 3 belts and told the parts store I'd bring back the 2 that didn't fit. I bought, as I recall, and 84.5", 84" and an 83.5" -- and used the 83.5".
The last digits of the belt part number usually represent the length. For example -- 1065 -- 106.5"; 0835 -- 83.5", etc. Be sure for final fitment that the arrow on the tensioner face points to an area close to the middle of the marked 'range' on the tensioner face.
