I need Imperial Belt help!

["Brian Collinsworth" <aprtay@xxxxxxx>]

Take a string and run around your pulleys the way the belt goes. Mark the string where the string meets itself, then remove string and measure with a tape measure. This is the length of belt you need. Take that measurement and the width measurement to a reputable parts store(Not the ones run by teenagers and idiots) and tell them you need a V belt X inches long by X inches wide. When you get the belt, keep the number somewhere for the belt so you don't have to do this again. It is also best to take the measurement when adjustment is in the midrange position.

Subject: IML: I need Imperial Belt help!

I have a 60 Imperial with a double pully generator. I need the size, #'s for the 2 belts that run from the Generator-A/C Compressor-Crank. I have bought 2 sets- 1 from NAPA, and 1from Kragens. both sets are #'s 15700. the 15 is width and the 700 means 70.0 inches long. They appear to be about 5 or 6 inches too short. I don't have the originals, so nothing to go by. Please help!
