The belt on my 1952 216 engine with stock water pump and aftermarket alternator is the same size as the one I used with the original generator. It's given me good service for many years. 5/8" wide X 43" long. Old NAPA # 25 10800, old Gates # 700. Couldn't find either number but measurements are from the original NAPA pkg

In 1953, the pulleys for harmonic balancer, generator, and water pump changed to work with a 3/8" fan belt.
