I have a few DDS power pulleys with the 3 "kidney" shaped holes in them.  I want to run one of these babies on my '64 but I don't know the belt size needed.  Anyone know? 

I assume it's a smaller size than the belt I currently have on there with my Santana power pulley.

A DDS pulley is smaller than a standard power pulley.

You could try the old "rope trick" to get an approximate size and then try to get it matched up at your favorite parts place.

Thanks for the answers, I'll check out the 9.5 x 850 with my teeny tiny Deano crank pulley.  This pulley should add at least 50 horsepower according to my calculations.  Cheesy

Update:  I don't think the 9.5x850 is the right size for the smaller Deano pulley.  9.5x850 is the size I am running now with my Santana power pulley.

I think I'll try the rope trick.   Grin

The DDS pulley needs a shorter belt than a power pulley.
I had my DDS pulley machined to make the groove wider to take a wider (stronger) belt.  The belt I use is a Ford JB-331.  This belt is 33&1/8" long, or about 840mm.
