What belt length for MMS crank and 4.0 pulley?
I'm just now wrapping up my rebuild and putting the supercharger back on.
I posted before asking what belt size for the MMS crank pulley and 4.0". I was told a 42", which is way too short. Can anyone help me out with this one? Looks like I need another 5-8"s. Or easiest way to measure it.
Thanks Dennis

If you don't find an answer here,this is what I did.
The easiest way I found to get the length was use a piece of string.
I set the idler but leaving enough room to tighten the belt when installed. Then threaded a length of heavy string/twine along the belt route. Once it was tight, I'd cut it were the 2 ends crossed.
Went to the auto parts store and just "stepped it" off on a few belts until I found the right length.
The auto part store should have a belt guage anyway. They should be able to find the length by just measuring your string.
That's what they use when you bring them a belt without #'s on it and don't know exactly what it came off of.
