hey guys i've been doing some work on my car and its about time i get up and running again but here is my predicament.... i removed my emissions and i need to find the right size belt and with the alternator pulley i have on a 30.5 inch 5 rib belt seems to be the right fit but first off i cant find it anywhere i've called like 15 different places and i've even gone in to go look for it. does anyone know of any stores or shops that sell the right size belt you need when you remove your emissions?

Supposedly the 30 inch 5 rib is the perfect fit with the stock water/alternator pulleys. Unfortunately, it's a pain to find. A handful of people (myself included for a short period) just use a 30 inch 4 rib which is pretty easy to find. Watch out though because some people get belt slippage. The best route is to get the greddy (or greddy ebay knock off) air pump elimination pulleys. It increases the belt contact with the water pump pulley, uses a standard belt size, and will decrease cavitation at high rpms.

 

yeah right now i have the altenator pulley from that kit that i got from one of my friends. and im gonna go out today and pick up that 4 rib see how that works. thanks for the help!
