Belt Length

RoadWarrior · 05-01-2002, 08:05 PM

I recently bought a 88 Mustang and began doing some work on it. Pulled the motor, etc. And since the car doesnt have the cats anymore i was going to yank out the air pump. My only question is this. What size belt do i need to bypass the pump. The car has A/C as well as power pullies. I saw someone post a pic of the belt and sizes a month or so ago but i cant seem to find it now. Any help would be appreciated.

Mine is 83.5 but is glazing a bit so you might want to go a bit longer, an 84 or 84.5.

Later, James

do your mods, run a length of no stretch wire, like primary wire, the route you need to go, add 2 inches, works every time!

Thanks guys that was perfect. Boy these EFI motors are way more complicated than my 82. I hope to post some pics of the new car as soon as i get them developed and scanned. Thanks again
