HEMI belts

["Kerry Pinkerton" <pinkertonk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Speaking of belts, my friend Robert Soule taught me something the other day (actually he teaches me a lot but don't tell him that) about belts.  Autozone sells Kelly Springfield (good belts) belts for about 1/4 the price of brand X belts from other places.  Recently needed the alternator belts (looong) for my 66 and no one had them but had to order.  Advance was over 20 bucks each, Autozone about 4.  Unfortunately I had not inquired about the price when Autozone said they would have to order so I overpaid a ton.....

These belts are a common item and should be available at any quality auto parts store, such as NAPA, etc..............Bill B.

 

Hmm...

 

What they should be and what they are ain't the same regrettably.  You can get the shorter belts easily enough, its the longer ones I could not find before, and that was when I had to take with me to the store to compare.  And, don't forget, as far as NAPA is concerned, the 392 does not exist.  It is not on their data base.  It is, however, on Autozone's.

 

A hunting I shall go.

 

Sigh.
