can anyone tell what length drive belt i need for my setup? i have no smog pump with ford racing a/c delete brackets that move the power steering pump up.

yeah id like to know too, as im putting the underdrive pulleys and want to bypass the smog and a/c.is there a way like measure a string or somthing?

what i did was cut my old belt, then ran it around the pulleys and trimmed it the best i could. i had to make 2 trips to the parts store but seemed to work out. some ppl use string.

I'm running 71" with my stock '86. No smog, no A/C. String or a measuring tape (one you'd find in a sewing kit) should give you a good idea as to the length you're looking for.

This might help, but when in doubt use an old belt to measure it yourself.

I used string and still had to make a couple of trips to the parts store. It's not a very accurate way but will give you a general idea.

I have the same arrangement and I use Goodyear Gatorback belt, number 4060650.
