Prepare for several trips to the parts store...I've found every car is different. I think I tried 6or7 till I found on that fit..I was quite snug.

Don't do what I did, if your are planing on putting u/d pulleys on do it now. I used a gattor back belt and I think the size was 72 something. I will post it when I get home. One way a friend did it was to have someone hold the tensioner back to where your stock belt is holding the tensioner now. Then route the stock belt to where it is tight against the tensioner, and with some vise grips pinch the belt, that will tell you more or less the size of the belt you need. Good Luck

Hopefully ur stang is driveable right now cuz you will be making several trips to the parts store. Took me three tries b4 i got it right so if u could drive it up there it will save u some time. Also ive heard of guys taking measurement with a tailor style measuring tape but dont count on it being perfect. Laters

i got one 73.5 half and it was a bit tight but i got it to go on.. so i would say a 74 would fit perfect

I think the one you got is perfect, since after a while the belt streches a little bit.
