A few pics of my belt situation. First two are of the 64.9 inch belt (K100649) you can see the tensioner is almost maxed out even with the tensioner in the lower position. I boost it max out on tension and then the belt slips or contacts the lower belt.
Third pick is of the 64.3 inch belt (K100643) which does not even come close to fitting even with the tensioner removed.
In my searching I cannot find a 10 rib belt in between 64.3 and 64.9. I am open to suggestions.
You can see Vortech only uses one idler pulley. I am following Ted's guidance to run under the idler, while the Vortec instructions say to run it over the top - but that would result in the upper part of the belt touching the lower part - two or three idlers with a tensioner pulling up would be better - think ESS or ECS.
