I asked what serpentine belt size i needed for my setup and i was directed to somewhere that told me a 73" belt...anywhere I look it does not tell me the length

What I'm running: Crank, Water Pump, Power Steering(moved to where A/C used to be), and alternator

Here is the Page i was Directed too, my setup is on the bottom left..the belt is purple.

CJ Pony Parts - Ford Mustang Parts


I need to get one locally i dont want to order it...if anyone runs this and could tell me what to do or could find it on advance auto or something like that, that would really help...thanks!
 
You can pretty much take that number I gave you and go to any parts store, its universal and can be cross referenced, provided that you don't get the idiot behind the counter.

It's easy to figure out if you haven't caught on already--- say you needed a 84.5" belt for a six rib pulley = 845K6

93.7" belt for five rib pulley = 937K5

63" (63.0") belt for seven rib pulley = 630K7
 
just ran into the EXACT same problem! i tried a 70.5 just barely short but you have to take into account the little bit of play that the tensioner uses. so, what i did is (since i know my belt over my smog was 84.5) is measure (with a string or tape measure) the same pulley route around my smog, and it came to be about 83.5, 1 inch short of the belt size i had on there. so, i measured the new pulley route bypassing my smog, and found it to be 72 in, so by using what i found from the 84.5 inch belt with the 83.5 true measurement, i know that i need a 73 in. belt (roughly) i'm actually going with a 72.5 bc my stock belt was somewhat loose. oh and as for measuring around the tensioner, when my belt is off my tensioner goes down far enough that there is a gap between the tensioner pulley and the bracket that bolts it down. and any belt size u need call autozone with the part number 4060_ _ _, the last 3 blanks are the size, so 72.5 would be 4060725, 73 would be 4060730. thats for a goodyear gator belt, not sure if you have a belt preference
