1958 Chevy 235 WITH water pump adapter plate and an alternator and Fenton split exhaust. The old 216 fan belt does fit but it does put the alternator right close to the header output. Any suggestions on a proper belt number to use? Thanks guys. We are getting close to install time into 51 Chevy 1 ton. I need to add, that I am using a 5/8 inch balancer, water pump and alternator.

wrap a piece of rope around the pulleys. measure the length, go to your local and get a 5/8 belt that's close, if it's too far off they'll exchange it for longer/shorter ... which is about the same as if someone here gives you a number that worked for their slightly different setup
