[Healeys] Correct V-belt

[Michael Oritt]

Mirek--

You recommended that I rely upon the wisdom of the List--which is what I am
doing.
Say what you may about AI but it certainly seems to know more about the
correct belt for automotive application than did the staff at the NAPA
store.
BTW all of the pulleys on my car have been converted to receive a narrow
belt so I am really seeking general belt knowledge not specific to Healeys.
