Will some one post the belt routing.

I'm installing a NST pulley. I think my routing is right but the belt won't quite make it. NST says K060747 or K060750. Ive got the 750 and have measured it at 75". Belt's not short WTF?

(As for knowing what i'm doing i've put 4.6L belts on with NO tools.)

The only thing i have to say about that is the belt size on NST web page is wrong.When i was installing my pulleys and i got the belt that was on the website but it was to short.I made like 3 trips to discount to keep getting the next size up until the belt fit. So your best bet is to do the same.

I got it on. The tensioner is fully compressed. Wrong belt size like you said. Do you remember the part # you used?

Stock is a 2275mm belt. With the nst pulley you need to go to a 2265 or at the tightest a 2260. Sorry I deal in metrics :) Goodyear should also have the metric number on there package.


In standard, the stock is an 89.566 inch belt. You would need an 89.173 or an 88.976.


Not sure why Mike would have said a 75" belt... Oh crap... you guys are talking about the stock belt *LOL* Thought you meant supercharger belt :) way to answer myself huh!

Thanks Smitty

Pulley did'nt gain much maybe a tenth in qtr. Although it seems to have eliminated that irritating a/c shudder @ idle. :clap: Will have to verify this on a hot day.
