@david hill swears by matched sets of Goodyear Gatorback/Continental Elites, as does
@cbarge.
@polara71 likes the Restoration Fan belts,
@Trace 300 Hurst has had good luck with NAPA belts and he has helpfully listed the part numbers
here for his 1970 Hurst.
@cuda hunter, I believe they are the same for 1971.
NAPA Premium XL Belt
#7590 AC belt (2);
#7425 PS;
#7360 Fan
I have run the same issue for my 1970 TNT. David also swears by matched sets but, looking for a matched set online, I have been unable to find one. Continental
claims that their "Matchmaker" technology ensures that "that every belt of the same length can be used as a matched set on those drives using multiple belts."
--> is that so?
--> if so, which of the following part numbers for Continental Elite V belts (formerly Goodyear Gatorback) would be correct for a 1970/1971 BB?
#
15366 (36.5" belt); Summit also lists #
15371 (36" belt)
#
15450 (44.5" belt); Summit also lists #
17411 (41" belt); both seem strange, as my car's belt should be 42.5:
#
15595 (59" belt)
Looking forward to replies!
