TERRY!!!!
You win the contest here bubba!!!!
I ordered and just successfully installed the GATES 9480HD (13A1220) in the car as the main jackshaft drive belt!!!!
FOR ALL OTHERS: your mileage may vary!
No, actually, I mean that a GOODYEAR belt of the same size may not fit your car!
I had tried a Goodyear 13A1220 when I had the engine out, and no way could I make it fit!!!
One thing I like about this Gates belt, is that it is of the Heavy Duty "Greenstripe" variety, just like their coolant hoses of the same name!
This one fits like a glove, and the adjuster is in mid position with the belt snug. I expect that after running it a few miles that it will loosen up a bit, just as the other belt did!
I feel a LOT better about this now!!!!
Thanks again to Terry!!! I'm sure glad you boyz down under use some of the same manufacturers we do up top side here!!!
Ciao!
