OK, I'm fit to be tied....with websites and belt manufacturers telling me one thing and selling me another.....ugh!
What belt are you running on the main jackshaft drive?
UPDATE 4-11-11 GATES 9480HD (13A1220) fits better than the 9485HD mentioned below!!!)
I found a Gates #9485HD (48.5" long) (13AV1230 metric= 13mm wide by 1230mm long) fits with the adjuster all the way out at the end. It will work for now, but once it wears in, it's time for a new belt as there will be no adjustment left...unless maybe I machine the base of the pulley standoff down to a smaller diameter!
I ordered a Goodyear 17481 which the websites claimed to be a 13A1225 size, but when it got here, it was a 13A1220, which I had already determined was not going to work...in a Gates equivalent. Well, tonight I tried to get the smaller Goodyear belt on..... no way. No how.
For the idler belt which would continue to drive the water pump if the main jackshaft belt failed is a Gates 7335 (Goodyear 15335) 11A0850 metric size works best. If all else fails, an 11A0865 size will fit but will have less adjustment.
As for belts on the ass-end of the engine, for the alternator and or AC pump, or smog pump....your mileage will probably vary! I have seen so many different combos of jackshaft pulley and component placement that I don't even want to suggest that what fits my car would even come close to your car.....but I'll post it anyway when I get that far!
Ciao!
Steve
