Belt Question

I tried the search feature but I think it is down for the time being..

Anyways, I have a 93 with a T78.. I am running ONLY a water pump pulley and the alternator pulley as well as the main. No idleers or air pumps or PS or AC. Which belt should I use and in what configuration?

Thanks guys!

Do you have any underdrive pulleys or are those three stock?

Your best bet is to use a string to trace the route and them measure the length of the string for your bet size. It will take you all of 5 minutes to do.

There are some who say that there isn't enough belt contact with the water pump without a pulley in the air pump position. If you look there isn't much contact in such case. I would guess though that there are some who are doing this. But, no experience with this myself. So, you might need to change a pulley without anything in the airpump position.

Well after measuring, I get 30.5" or 775mm. I am running a Greddy water pump pulley, a stock alternator pulley, and a pettit Power main pulley. I am just curious as to the best configuration and I am not sure if it will clear the stock thermostat housing/water neck.
