j/k !
But it did just got to a Short Belt w/Underdrive pulleys on my 89 5.Vert!
After I installed the March Underdrive Crank/Water pump pulleys, my belt ended up being a bit to long (the Tensioner at Full range).
So I inadvertently had NO P/S as I took it for a quick test drive. It wasn't nearly as hard to turn as I thought it was gonna be!
I had been considering deleting the Smog pump anyways, so I figured WTF, I might as well Delete the P/S as well!
So after (3) trips back/forth to the Parts store, I ended up using a 68.5" belt (part # 685K6 Dayco).
Feels like the car has an additional 20HP increase (AT LEAST)!! Really runs like a SOB now ! :>)
The steering feel is FIRM and Precise, with a side benefit of a work-out for my arm muscles!
Now it "FEELS" like a Muscle car 'should' feel IMHO !! :>)
