Serpentine Belt Options

[xlr8nflorida]

Looks like the NOS serpentine is about $70 shipped.

Other options look like Dayco, Gates, GoodYear Poly V.

Pros/Negs of each and best vendors/price on serpentine?

There is a great deal on the"bay" with free shipping. I just scored one and there were 2 left. Check it out ;)

Gates at Oreilly's for $45 unless your just hell bent on spending $25 more on NOS.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to get another belt as a spare and as usual I have to complicate things by having the SRP underdrive pulley kit (I would never go back though; Randy Woods makes nothing by high quality parts).

So I'm trying to search and cross-reference PN 815K6 or 6PK2070. I don't think I want to try a Prestone belt for $4.64?

Ive got an OEM belt that will not go on the car,I got this from Jim Butler Chevrolet off of Fleabay years ago.Went and got a Goodyear belt,on the car in 15 seconds.I think the OEM belt was $50 and when I tried to return I do remember the dealer giving so much bull$hit about the return I ate the $50.The brand was a Gates part I think.Anybody know the Goodyear part number?

I believe they still sell GM belts for $59. If it was OEM shouldn't it say GM not Gates?
