Acessory drive belt
Are they the same for an '85 and an '86? My local american parts store has tried everywhere and can only get one for the '86 at the moment, they're not listing one specifically for the '86.
My belt is just squeaky, quietens up with some belt dressing, but then it's not long until it squeaks again.

I did the AIR elimination to my '85 and had to go with a 1" shorter belt even when the directions to the kit said the OEM belt would work.

Interesting length data from Rock Auto for both 85 and 86:
Gates.........89.50
Dayco........88.58
Goodyear...89.50
ACDelco.....89.50
So I guess anything between 88.5 and 89.5 would work.
