Ford 460 engine accessory V belts
Multi V 6 rib drive belts
There are two
The outer belt drives the Alternator and air pump
The inner belt drives the power steering and the A/C compressor,
The outer belt continental 4060505, was easy to find and a perfect
The inner belt was much harder as all the so called matching replacements were too long, after 3 trips too parts stores and several phone calls, the local Napa store found a belt listing in his book with correct lenght specs,but mot in stock at my store, went 8 miles to the next Napa store to pick it up
Napa pt# 060594, a perfect fit replacement for the inner belt
Little more than an hour to install the new belts (i had assistance) but spent several hours tracking down the inner belt,
That is how i spent Wednesday
Not a fun day, not the worst day, but certainly tedious and frustrating ,
These events began Tuesday evening with the discovery ofno output from alternator,
Reason was no Alternator belt it was gone
