This might be a stupid question but i couldn't find an answer searching around. I am going to get a set of the Metco Idler pulleys with the snub idler and I'm sure which ones I should go with. Is the 3-100mm and 1-90mm the normal setup or is the 3-90 and 1-100?? Also which sizes go where??

Go with the 3-100's and 1-90.

The larger the pulley the slower it spins which is better for bearing life.

I believe the smaller one goes down nearest the crank on the cage.

But Im subn. because my car only came with the snub and two others, caged one is a stocker.

So would i use the 3-100's for the regular Idlers and the 90mm for the snub idler?

The snub is usually a 100mm,

The smaller idler goes just before the blower.
