On my 84,302 with smog pump removed the belt length from the crank to alternator pulley is 39 inches, dayco belt # 5060390.When you remove the smog plumbing from the back of the heads plug the hole in each head. They are threaded and will accept a 9/16 x 1 inch course thread bolt. Probably the only place you will get this bolt will be a machine shop-- 50 cents each. Put some sealant on the bolt to prevent leaks.

No I was just saying something that happened to me. The power steering pump froze up and the belt burnt off. So i bypassed the power steering pump with a non A/C belt. I just re-read what i posted and i left out a sentence.:hick:

haha id love to super/turbo charge a small engine. or just hop it up in general, like shaving the head, porting it or something like that. :hick:

i LOLed when i saw that post though "how much psi are we talking" many people have thought about using the air pump as a supercharger. sure would be sick if it worked though!!!! Kenne Bell would have no business!!!

Change the pully size and you could use it to blow all the leaves and dirt out of the engien bay possibly.

Hmmmm..... This has me thinking.....

If you're running mass air and you ran those hoses into the intake between the air filter and the MAS it might give you a little boost off the line. Not a lot but you might get 5-10 hp. Any thoughts?
