alternator relocation belt size

Have an alternator relocation bracket bought from smokin hawk. Need to know what size belt to get. Using stock tensioner. I do not remember the last size I brought. The numbers are worn off and still have the belt on my car. Belt on my car squeals like a stuck pig and slips if it gets wet and at high rpms. Hoping someone can tell me the belt size they use with this setup. Did a search but couldn't find anything. Thanks for any help

If no one gives you a response, you could always just go to a parts store and have them match it up.

Should be around a 73.5" plus or minus some depending on your desired tightness.
That at least should get you started.

If anyone needs this info in the future.
Smokinhawk alternator relocation bracket + 25% UD pulley = 71.5" belt. You have to take the left bolt out and roll the alternator over towards the intake. Force the belt on and roll it back then stab the bolt. The belt fits great and doesn't slip at all.

If you have an under drive pulley on the car.
