well first stop the caps buddy, but its isnt 73, its 83 for bypassing the smog pump.

Take a long peice of string and make you're own belt routing. Once you've made that measure how long the string was and that will be you're belt size.

dont waste your time measuring belt paths with string i have tried that it sucks
the correct measurements for by passing smog with a/c is 73.5
i will also get you the belt size for by passing smog and a/c with a picture
because you have to take a different belt path. oh one more thing when
you by pass the a/c you have to put the ford racing a/c eliminator bracket
the one that moves the powersteering up,which by the way the instructions
fail to mention you have to get or make longer power steering hoses.

sorry for the caps just a little over sight last night after spending the evening pulling my tranny. Went out today and got a 82in belt and bypassed the smog pump I would like to know about the stearing and a/c bypass belt size and how to route it.

dc_mann8

using a 73 would be a very odd routing of the belt.. 83.5 was my size

sastangman

do you have underdrive pulleys?? because 73.5 belt works fine for me. i don't
have underdrive pulleys!!!

dc_mann8

i dont have them either.... u must of routed it the way where its close to rubbing on itself
