Finally got to remove the drive belt the o.d. on it is 44 3/4 inches it definitely is wore its less than an inch wide on the inside of the belt. What is the number for a replacement belt mine has no visible numbers on it.

You'll need to measure the width of the belt across the outside, the inside will be smaller as it's a tapered belt.

2) Powering it from the ON side of the ignition switch, it wouldn't need to be switched but might become a pita remembering to shut the key off when not going to run it for a while lol.......

3) Powering it from the accelerator micro-switch circuit, it would be active only when the engine is running.......

I need to correct my advise on this post, I recently bought a fuel gauge kit and did a bench test for actual amp draw......

With the lighted dial ON it only draws .06 - .09 of an amp, depending on a full or empty signal from the sending unit. With the light OFF it's only .05 - .07 of an amp.....

With my new findings I'm going to wire mine from the ignition switch ON terminal, no need for a momentary switch or any other complicated method. Less than 1/10th of an amp surprised me and would take a long long time to run the battery down, I'll also be tying into the headlight switch for the lighted dial
