It might be a little hard to explain the orientation of the pulley, so bear with me. If you put the belt on all the pulleys, and turn the eccentric clockwise (toward the VP), the belt should tighten before the pulley hits the VP. If it does, the belt is too long. I only installed the Gen 1 bracket on turbo engines, so the crank pulley may be a different size on the N/A engine. Originally I had to try 3 different belts with a 1/2" difference in length. I ended up with the size included in the kit. Once the belt is tight, the big bolt can be tightened snug. BTW, the big washer is for spacing the idler pulley out if the belt does not line up. The idler bolt will come very close to the power steering belt, and possibly touch it. You can fine tune the adjustment with thicker and thinner washers if it is that critical to you, but the one washer should put the belt in the correct line if needed.
