 Michael,
I want to save you from falling down the fan belt rabbit hole. A couple of years ago I wrote the attached article for our club magazine. It should  help to give you a clear path forward.

Michael,  as I recall you are running an alternator on your 100. Has the original 100 generator pulley been fitted to the alternator, as the original alternator pulley would definitely require a totally different belt than would be correct for the 100 pulleys?

I went to the NAPA store today to get a V-belt and was sold a smooth belt with an FH (Fractional Horsepower) designation.
The packaging said it was for lawn and household applications of less than 1 HP.  
I asked the sales clerk if an FH belt was suitable for automotive use and was told "Yes".  
Now I see that Google AI says no--that such a belt is [i]not[/i] suitable for cars.  
Who is right--AI or NAPA and if not FH which designation is correct?
