Well i dont know what size you will need, but if you need an 85" belt i know where you can get one cheap! Its lookin like this belt i just bought is gonna be a bit too big...cost me like 40 bucks too!

If your looking at $40 for the shorter belt another option, which I've run across, is a smog pump replacement pulley. This aluminize pulley takes the place of the original smog pump and the best thing is you can use the standard size belt. Just another option.

yeah i thought about getting the smogpump replacement pulley, but im not really ready to take my smog pump off just yet. Not to sure about exactly how to do it...

Since your not ready yet, surf the forums for this topic, there is plenty of posts which will tell you exactly what to do. I havent removed mine yet either.

im tellin you its the 83.5" i bought a 85" and it wobbled like a mother. the 83.5 and 85 come standard at most places. the 85 becomes way to loose. i dint even have to push the idler pulley down to slip the belt on, and its 18$ at auto zone. also you could get a bennetts auto supply to order you a special 84 for 30$. but i am still happy with my 83.5"

Yeah i know but we dont have many auto stores around here. Its just like Schucks or Napa. Napa only had an 83 1/4 wich was too small and then an 84 1/4 but they didnt have it in stock. And then i went to a schucks and the closest was 85 which i found out is too big. So there are 2 other schucks in town that im gonna go to and hopefully they will have an 83.5 or 84...

Alright so went back to schucks today and traded in my 85" belt for and 83.5" but that actually ended up being a bit too small. So i went back to get an 84" which of course was out of stock. So i had them order one and it is supposed to be here Sept. 2nd. So i have to wait...

yea i agree the 83.5 is a little tight but the 84 should fit about perfectly. good luck!

NegadivOne

Thanks! Hopefully it will fit. I dont know what I will do if it doesnt...cry maybe...

StangTangGT

yea true sometimes its all you can do
