Fan belt question
Hey all,
If any of you are running a belt which goes around the water pump pulley and crank pulley only, could you tell me what belt number you are running? I'm having a hard time finding that info.
My AIM, shows it on the non-AC cars, but does not give specs or part numbers for it. I have marked it in red below.
350 engine / the car is a '77 if that helps.
Thanks!
Adam

Additional info - in my owners manual it shows the belt info (no part #) - length of 32.46" x 3/8" width. I also shows a smog pump belt length of 32.5" (no smog pump on our car). I can find the smog pump belt, but I'm concerned about the length difference due to there being no adjustment for the crank to water pump belt.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I may have found some info and thought I would pass it along. Hopefully it will help in forums searches if others have the same question.

OK, I took a bit of time this afternoon and added the water pump to crank belt. I also scuffed up the pulleys with 150 grit because they were glazed up.
So far, my belt squeal seems to be gone
Hopefully it will last and not come back.
Thanks again for the help guys!
