  The fan belt that works on my two cars is the NAPA B54. Don't buy the belts offered by major V8 part vendors, they don't fit. My two vehicles are both 21 stud, 37 blocks, outfitted with '36 bolt on's for one, and '35 bolt on's for the other. Both are presenting themselves as close to bone stock.

  tip
if you have bought the NAPA belt and it is a little tight,
loosen the generator and tilt forward a little to get belt on,
and after a few miles re adjust it if needed,
I use a NAPA belts on my 37, found to be the only one to work correctly. has the correct width and angle of the taper
thinking 13/16 and 34 degrees its not 3/4 or 5/8 wide
hope this helps 37RAGTOPMAN
