So i will not be replacing the A/C pump or the power steering pump...so what custom belt have you been using to drive the alternator? Is it from another car? Where can I get one? Thanks in advance.

On my SVX conversion I kept the belt tensioner below the power steering bracket and put it about in the middle of the adjustment range. Count the # of ribs (usually 4 or 5) and measure with a string how long of a belt you will need. My local Carquest let me dig around the belts for a 5 rib that is ___ inches long. In the spring I hope to be adding AC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I flipped my alternator around so it may not be the same as what you need, but I just took a measurement with the old belt that I had cut, and went to Pep Boys and did the same as Kent.

Cool, Thanks guys...I think I will check for a gatorback since my alternator will still be in the stock location.

I went on Summit and found a 5 rib gatorback at 27.25in or a 4 rib gatorback at 27.5in. What is more important...being 27.5in or having 5 ribs?
Thanks in advance. -Peter |
