Serpentine Belt Length
« on: September 21, 2012, 11:36:40 am »
I"m looking to buy a serpentine belt for my azz, one without air conditioning. When searching for a non a/c belt -  I'm finding belts of all different lengths?  As I don't have an old belt to measure off of, would anybody know the right length that I will need.

Thanks.

No you are right - did some more digging and the consensus is 21.36 x 1045

Thanks much!

i believe i had to run a 1038 or something..

lemme go run up and check..

ive got a 1040mm belt on my car..

it says this belt is more commonly used on 1984 ford tempo, and mercury topaz with a/c.. and 1990 taurus w/ 1.9L

i had a 1054mm belt at first, and it was just a touch too long..

so, a 1045mm belt should be just about right..

Pardon the question, but didn't you have a similar thread you made or posted in a month or two ago about exactly this topic? 

OT, I think you said 1035-1038 or around that, as 1045+ got too close to the water pump pulley.
