Default 82 belt sizes.

Does anyone have the belt lengths for. 82'. Crank to power steering, alternator and a/c? I'm not going to run a a.i.r. Pump

FWIW, when I replaced the belts on my '81 the spec belts listed were slightly too long and both the PS and Alt were barely tight. I ended up test fitting belts from the local auto parts until I found sizes that fit perfectly.

alternator 54.5" long 7/16" wide
power steering 36.5" long 7/16" wide
ac 55.5" long 1/2" wide

these numbers are from the December 1983 parts and illustration catalog

Do you know how to tell if I got a 70amp alternator or non 70 amp?

The amp ratings as well as the Delco part number are stamped on the rear portion of the front case, usually just below the top mounting ear. Original Delco numbers will be 7-digits long with a two-digit amp rating after it. If the alternator has been overhauled you no longer can rely on the numbers.

Get a old belt, cut it and use it to go around pulleys to acquire the length you need.....NO ONE has the correct length for your situation.....then go to your local parts store with that information and buy what fits

No old belts?....use a rope
