General Discussion / 1967 L78 repro Alternator Belt 3849739 fitment problems
« on: September 12, 2023, 02:56:22 PM »
I purchased a repro 3849739 alternator belt alternator belt made by Quanta advertised as 55 1/2" in length. When measuring the outside length of the belt it was actually 55". Does this 1/2" really make that much of a difference? I feel like there is no way this belt will fit. I removed the valve cover and pushed the alternator as far as it could go and it's still not close. Am I missing something?
