[QUOTE="funmoneypit, post: 15233390, member: 177540"] Ok, using CobraBob's belt chart (here [URL]http://www.stangshiftergaskets.com/belt_length_chart.htm[/URL]) it seems you should need a little over an 80" belt if I did my calculations right. 2.93 upper plus 4lb lower = 77" Metco idler = +1" 100mm idler = +.5" 3.5" alt pulley = + 1.5" For a total of = 80" Now the total is actually a little over 80" as Bob's chart only lists a 2.9 upper and not a 2.93. Looking up your belt, it states it is 81" long so it should actually be a little too long. As stated, if you can't get it between the upper and snub, take off the snub. Also (and please do not become upset as many have done this wrong) are you sure you are releasing the tensioner the right way? It seems you had a lot of issues removing the old belt too. Maybe that was just the thickness of the belt though. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
