Replacing belts

Postby RobR » Sat Jul 21, 2018 2:21 pm

I'm wanting to replace the v-belts in the Monza. I have a 78 with a 305, power steering and a/c. I really need to do the alternator as there is no adjustment left. The alternator is in the middle of the engine with the ac compressor and power steering to either side. My question is which belts do I need as far as part numbers?

Thanks,
Rob

I have been to Rock Auto and have seen that page.

I guess what I'm asking is more the length of each belt. Rock Auto has lengths all over the map for supposedly the same belt, by over an inch in some cases.

Just want to get the right ones.

Look for numbers on old belts Check online for length and then if you feel it is too long look for one that lists as shorter. OR Buy a belt measuring tool or bring your belts to auto parts store and use theirs to determine length. Then check length of replacements?

Thanks. I went ahead and ordered them. We'll see if I got it right. Might have to buy that measuring tool, just to have it and not worry about belts again.

Appreciate the help.

FWIW, these are the belts I used.

Alternator: CONTINENTAL 15475
Power Steering: CONTINENTAL 15535
Air Conditioning: CONTINENTAL 15591


Job was a nightmare as everything was stuck at the max position. Finally got everything freed up and then the sway bar was so close to the pulley that I had to loosen that up to slide the belts off. It's a Spyder sway bar. Maybe the motor mounts are sagging?
