Hi Tom,

thanks for counting the teeth and for confirmation.
I have ordered the belt and i am now convinced that it will fit. I guess rockauto got a mistake on their site.

a little late but my guess is the 99 refers to the 92

91 Teeth, if you are talking about the 'female' part of the belt that meshes with the 'male' part of the gears.
Otherwise, it's 92 teeth on the belt from the stock 140 SOHC in my 1976 Vega GT.

The Cosworth Vega belt is much bigger - needs to fit over two cam gears(sprockets) instead of one, you know.
raised cogs and 7 raised

very late but my guess is the 99 tooth count refers to the 92 male cog teeth and 7 raised serpentine ridges together.
