[Land-speed] Blower pulleys and belts

[Rich Fox]

I thought they were all 1/2 inch pitch or the rounded metric pitch. Looks like
counting the teeth and dividing would give you the ratio. I don't understand
the question.

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,
