[Land-speed] Blower pulleys and belts

List:

I have finally got a blower pulley/belt combination that fits the 
engine.....I added an inter cooler this year and naturally had to 
change pulleys and belt for the 8-71. Little did I know that I would 
accept advice from those who should know and spend time and money on 
a drive system that would not fit. Finally RBS Superchargers sold me 
the right stuff....

All well and good but it was still a guessing game. How many pulley 
teeth to get to the ratio? How many teeth on the belt? What is the 
center to center dimension crank to snout?
What kind of engine is it? Inter cooler or not? I researched all the 
blower, pulley, belt companies to find an accurate chart with which 
to find the combo that I wanted.......I couldn't find a single chart 
that matched the tooth count/belt combo that is now correctly 
installed on the engine.

I must have missed a source of info.......

Does anyone know of a formula to use to get to the correct drive 
setup the first time? Please......

Thanks,
Skip
