Wrap string around the pullies in the same direction the belt would run. Then mark the string and take it down and get a new belt.

It depends on which pulley kit you get, but a lot of them use the stock belt....

Check with the manufacture....

[patriot] My set used the stock belt. Otherwise, do what Jared said, measure with a string.

Take the car to Kragen SLOWLY and play the guess a belt game. Start 1 1/2 inches shorter than stock and go from there. Kragens around me have always let me do this.

Why would he do that [Confused]

With the stock belt on there the tensioner would be maxed and the belt would not slip too terribly if you are NOT getting on the gas hard........

Dustin thought you meant drive to Kragen with no belt.
