i have no AC, PS and an electric water pump. how can i run a belt with my setup using the stock tensioner? im using the stock alternator.

 

an easy way would be buy the a/c delete kit and run it like factory except put a ribbed pulley on the driverside cover and then down to the crank basically removing the p/s pump. Its going to be tough with out the a/c delete cause the way the pulley and tensioner are so close. But if you made the belt really tight you could get away with not using the a/c delete kit.

 

here you go:

1996/1998 cobra timming cover

ussing OEM tensioner & 76mm composite 6 rib Dayco idler ,part number 89009
belt # 455K6--6PK1155.<if you use aftermarket pulleys>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With OEM pullies Gates belt part # K060473
--------------------------------------------------------------
With OEM pullies & electric water pump USE Gates belt part # K060407 OR K060408

^^^^^ That looks like just crank, waterpump pully, Alt......how are they keeping the belt tight?

 

Thats how mine is.I keep it tight by putting a tire iron under the alt then tighting the alt bolts.It stays tight.

 

Thats kinda what I figured...

 

What size belt do you use? Have any closeup pics

 

what size belt is that? i have an underdrive pulley so mine will be even shorter. i will try this out before i spend 200 on a delete pulley.

 

also, who makes the ac delete kit. i see some from 60-200. some have the manual tensioner and some are just a replacement.

I think ford has one also off of a work truck or van. I think it was around a 2000 model that had the delete kit on it.

 

any more info on this setup? here is how i plan to run my belt. i feel less is better but it turns out a 37.5" belt fits perfect. now i just got to find one in a 6rib setup. does anyone know if 5 ribs would be sufficient for this setup?

Look's Good.!
Gates have them
try NAPA or OReilly's
here you go:
Gate 6 rib belts
k060365 = 37 1/8
k060370 = 37 3/4

 

well couldnt find the size i needed in 5 or 6 rib so im rocking 4 ribs. i hope the belt holds up but it was only 10.99 so not much at loss.

i would not suggest prying the alternator like i did. i was waiting for that case to break but i was able to get the belt on. im sure there was a better way but i didnt want to damage the pulley from prying the bottom.

Thats how mine is.But I used a tire tool under the alt and pride up from there.

 

care to share a part number?
thanks

 

this is how i did mine with alt, ps and no water pump pulley

Nice !
wan't to share a part number?

 

Sure! I'll get it tomorrow, i got it from napa, it fits a little loose but i used a pry bar on the alt until it got tight.

 

Thanks
This is a good tread .It should help many Mod Motor Turbo Mustangs..
