you sure it’s just the belt that’s missing, or is it a '89/90 model that’s missing the high pressure PS line?

edit: just realized you bought that '92 from the forum… disregard…

its a late model (type x) S13 blacktop.

i looked online and i cant find anything on belt #'s and stuff. but i do know now that they are “v belts”.

there are packages online you can buy that includes all the belts like alternator, power steering and a/c. but since i dont have a/c i only need the 2 belts.

does anybody know where i can just get some v belts that will fit? and part numbers?

hey man im kind of confused. is Gates the manufacturer? and the the two belts for the PS and A/C are the same right? so i only need one K050370 and one K040345 since i dont have A/C.

ok so i bought the belts and im ready to put the powersteering belt on and im looking for the tensioner and i find it under the powersteering pump but the long screw that does the tensioning is threaded into a smaller perpendicular screw that slides on the rails to adjust the position (+/- tension) but that nut on the screw was missing so i couldnt tension it anyways ☹ im going to take it off and try to find a matching nut for that thread so i can put it on. i found a picture of the tensioner bolt on the internet so everyone can see what i am talking about:

the following picture is from a KA ps pump but its the same idea:

so off to some store that i can find a matching nut for that tensioner bolt! ☹

since it was cold outside i just looked around for where the tensioner bolt is for the alternator drive belt and i think i saw it but im not sure. does anyone know where it is and where i should look next time?
