They are fine! I use Gates HD Belts on my Vette (Green) wont stretch and will last a lifetime - just find your part number and order it!

AC Delco belts are good. Hadn't thought about the Gates belts - thanks for the link. Also, Goodyear Gatorback belts are a very good choice.

I agree with the others here -- I've never had an issue with any AC/Delco part, ever -- and I'm an old geezer who's owned many GM cars through the years.

AC Delco is another division of GM and many of the parts on your vehicle are AC Delco, so you can't go wrong.

Never had any issues with their products. When I replaced my belts, I went with OEM parts, i.e., AC-Delco.
