Default Different AC belt with Summit Balancer?

I got the build back together and the regular serp belt fits fine but the AC belt was way too small. I got one that fit but it was still tight. Was just wondering if anyone has a p/n that they know works w this balancer. It’s not an underdrive pulley. And it’s just the ac that’s tight.

ah. That could be it then. I got a new AC belt but a smidge bigger and it’s tight but it fits. Just chasing a squeak and it looks like I’m replacing every tensioner and idler pulley since they’re all a bit noisy. Lol 😅

I'm using the Summit C2501 balancer and both belts are stock replacement and fit perfectly. Really good piece and the SFI cert is icing on the cake, especially for the price.

totally. Great budget balancer. I figured the stock one would separate anyway so screw it. Replace it.

Yeah, stock belt with a C2501. It is a major pain in the **** to install, though. Hate the AC belt.
