Title: correct v belts
Post by: 72TA on October 23, 2022, 04:13:08 PM

Does anyone sell a correct date coded  v belt for our firebirds?
If not date coded are there belts available with the straight sides and not these cog belts?

Interesting and profound question! I had to check on my own engine before responding.  I didn't bother with date codes and wasn't concerned with the cogs.  8-) That's not my answer though:  According to Ames Performance Engineering (APE) their catalog shows date coded V belts available for our Birds through 1971; Alt belt #FN692, PS belt FN693 and AC belt (if you need it for that big stock compressor) FN694.  My catalog shows they are $38 each. (Probably higher now.)

Hope this helps.
