ok i got it all figured out it took a couple of belts to figure it out but i tried the 73 it was too big tried the 72.5 too big tried the 72 too big went to the 71.5 too big went and got the 70.5 too short and then finally got the 71 and it fit like a glove does anyone know why they recommend getting the 73 and it doesnt fit i put it on exactly how it shows and i dont understand it im kinda stuck here its no biggie the car runs fine and i checked for any gaps that could rattle lose in the bolts and all is well so if you got any ideas it would help

the belt recommendations are all based on the fact that you have stock pullies, if one has underdrive pullies then that throws a wrench in the mix
