Shorter Serpentine Belt?

I may potentially need a shorter belt due to a smaller alternator pulley.

I believe the stock pulley is 3 inches and the one Ill be using would be 1 5/8 inches coupled with the %10 under drive pulley that make for an almost 2" loss.

Does anyone know How I would go about making up for this loss?

if your using the NST underdrive kit with the 3 pulleys then you dont need a new belt. the stock one will work fine.

A NAPA store should be able to look-up a compatible belt in any length you need, if its made. Others could too, but NAPA stores seem to have more knowledgeable/willing staff.

Go out and buy like the next 3 smaller sized belts belt and test fit. That is what I had to do on a s/c install I did recently and then returned the ones I didn't need.

thanks guys. dom at irragi alts has the half inch shorter version which should be just fine with the smaller diameter alt pulley (1 5/8)

i forgot how easy it is to move the alt forward and backwards to adjust.
