Napa asked me if I wanted the heavy duty belt for my 87. I said "like you have to ask!"

It's a thick belt with no cog notches on it anywhere. Guys who made those things should be strung up.

Well, I don't know if it is a premium belt or not, it is what the little hole in the wall Napa store near my office had in stock.

At $20 for a v-belt it sure seemed like it was premium PRICED - but I was tickled to get it and get off that cheap. A booster with MC was $150 and a reman vac pump was about the same...

The belt that came off at least looked pretty old. It was all dried and cracked and looked pretty bad.
