Whose engine drive belts do you use on a 72?
I need to replace all 3 drive belts on my 1972 350 base air con p.steering (no mods as manufactured ) Coupe.
Iwas wondering whose and what part#s you all use/recomend?
As im in the U.K. cant just pop to local Napa store or the like but can access what im recomended by the net.
Yep i could use any of the sponsor companies as i normally do but then i get stung for import duty and tax and overseas postage on top of $18-$25+ per belt.(i will need a spare set or too as spares also!)
Gotta save every cent you know we just hit $10 a gallon over here and its going up more!!!
Please post your part#s and manufacturer/suplier it will be a great help
thanks SAM.

Gates, and only Gates.
I have tried at least 4 different belt brand names on my Vette. After going with Gates, there is no way I will go back to the others. I originally bought them because I have a twin belt setup and they were the only set I could find that actually matched lengths. After running them for a couple of summers I noticed they seem to stretch less and slip less than the other brands I had. I paid twice as much for them as the other brands, but I would do it again.
