I did the same on my 300-6, and all you need is to count the ribs on your belt, than take a piece of string and wrap it around the pulleys and take that length to the auto store.

I got a belt number off of here, but went back 3 different times before I got the right one. I think they come in 1/4 inch ( or maybe even 1/8) lengths, so getting the right one should be easy. But I think 3/4 of an inch could be too tight or loose.

Are you still spinning the pump? That wasn't clear to me.
