It keeps throwing the belt. I have installed a new belt tensioner. I don't have a lot of money to replace the pump.

It will need to be trial and error, I would use a string to put around the pulleys and then measure the string to get started here is a diagram for the belt to help you get an idea of the belt you need, the car will be hard to steer so please consider replacing the pump.

REMOVAL
1. Loosen adjust screw and oil pump fixing bolt, then remove belt.
2. Remove oil pump union bolts and hose.
3. Remove oil pump bracket fixing bolts.
4. Remove oil pump.

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Adjust belt tension.
Bleed air after installation.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
