I need to replace my power steering belt and I’m not sure what size to get. The one currently installed is a just a bit too long and narrow. It worked but not the best. All smog equipment is gone including the air pump. Anyone have suggestions?
 
SBelinge, I'd be happy to go check mine out for you, but I'm running a GM P/S pump with the Jim Chenowith mod on an FJ60. Shoot me a note if you want me to text you some pics/numbers.

@lechnito thanks, I thought that was the belt I had on it now but, it’s an O’relies version and I don’t think it’s a perfect match. So I ordered the Dayco from amazon.

@ReelBigFisch Ill see how the proper Dayco belt fits amd let you know. By the way, what it the Jim Chenowith mod?
 
There’s a bunch of info on here about ditching the smog setup, running a GM P/S Pump but you need to install an idler pulley where the Smog pump once belonged. I’ll see if I can send you a link.
 
@ReelBigFisch I've got an FJ62 and it seems that adding the idler pulley in place of the air pump isn't something thats done for the 3F. I don't know why. Maybe I'm wrong? Doing so sure would make it easier to run OEM belts.

I did get the Dayco replacement belt but my rig is in the shop for unrelated issues so I'll have to wait until it gets back to install it. BTW I love the color of your rig!
 
I installed the Dayco belt and it fits good and is much quieter. Does anyone have experience replacing the pulleys on the 3fe? My power steering seems a bit warn. I haven’t searched the forums yet.
