Pineapple Racing Yoohoo belt?
Anybody tried this belt? Im not sure If I wanna go double sheaved pulley. I cant do the side mount alt. cause I still have a/c for the hot, humid Alabama summers. My entire front of the engine bay is coated in black powder where it has eaten through 2 belts. Just wondering if this belt is good as they claim it to be.

ya its basically a normal one.....if you are running a dual pulley then just get two new belts (same length) and put em on.....no need to get some special belt for it.
Edit: i know they have the corect belts at the NAPA in Pelham....if youre near there

theres nothing magical about it, it just gets full coverage on the water pump pulley for when you've removed the air pump and are now missing 50% of the water pump coverage you had before.
It's a low-cost solution to a real problem that *works*, so what if it's not fancy.

I've ran both the "yoohoo" belt as well as the dual alt pulley. I had more success with the "yoohoo" because the dual alt pulley took more adjusting to get it right and retightening over the course of a couple days. Although both worked just fine for me in the long run.

Does anyone have a pic of this thing installed?
I never saw it on Pineapples site before....
Yes, there is a pic on the package, but I just don't see how you can have two sheaths on the water pump and crank, and then still get another one onto the alt.?? It doesn't add up to me, Im sure it works, I'd just like to see a pic of it ON a car

I don't think you understand how it works...
when using a yahoo belt you will only have one belt on the alternator pulley.
the belt is used when you don't have an air pump installed, it goes where the air pump belt used to go - over the main pulley air pump sheave and the second sheave on the water pump pulley. Thats all it does.
It's 'special' because it's a small belt and theres no adjustment possible you just force it onto the two pulleys and that's all there is to it...

wow. yea that is a lawn mower belt, get the part numbers for one and head to a lawn equiptment shop and see if you can get one. or take the measurements off your 7 and have them look up a belt like that which happens to match the measurements.
another option is this place. i have been eyeballing these latley
