I have a quick question. Can anyone tell me the correct part number for for the fan belt when you change over to an alternator? I ordered the brackets and pulley from Chevy Duty and it is the original wide belt. Thanks in advance. | | |

Different pulley sizes and mounting brackets make this a custom fit. Best thing to do is take a piece of rope and wrap it around the pulleys, marking at the overlap. The measure the length of the rope, and take that measurement and the width of the belt to your local parts store. They can fix you up.

I have a 261 with the small belt size damper pulley.... I shortened the water pump shaft and replace the original 1958 deep dish pump pulley with an after market... Trans Dapt only 2 3/4 deep now the pulleys line up...BUT... the size and profile of the damper pulley is bigger than the Trans Dapt water pump pulley... off hand I would say the original damper oulley is cut for a wide shallow 1/2 inch belt and the pump pulley is cut deep and narrow for something like a 3/8 belt.... will I have a slipping belt?? or will the...if I go back to the deep original pulley I will have to move the rad forward for clearance ....will belt life be affected..? or jump off at high revs...???
