yup! an old belt is the ticket to a new belt! and there are cross refrences
for belts from 1 manufacturer to another too.
and if you are beltless a piece of yarn / string / rope wrapped around the
pulleys and where it overlaps take a marker and mark across both pieces of
what ever you are using and wa-la! a mock up belt to take and compare for
length. now 1 more thing! belts come in difrent widths! measure across
the pulley and give them a width of the "V" grove as well. some of these
parts jockeys are lost without a specific aplication on their computers!
we do not have one is not an acceptable answer. they probably have 2 or 3
but cannot figure out the right one without their computer telling them what
to do....

Subject: Re: V-Belts?
> Hmmm. Surprised you're having trouble. If you have the old one, can't they
measure it and find a good match? My '71 has a GM alternator conversion from
a PO. I had to change the mounting a bit and the belt that was on it
wouldn't work any more, so I just took one of those clothes measuring tapes,
wrapped it around the pulleys, and told them I needed a V belt of that
length. No problems.
