where to buy alt/wp/main BELT?!

hey everyone,
I removed the airpump, but CANNOT find any sort of belt to fit. I have stock pulleys, so i need either a 29.5K4/5 or a 30K4/5

Where did all of you buy yours? My autozone, oreillys and advance auto parts (albeit being small) did not have it.

I just got a 29 inch belt on yesterday. It took a bit to get on though.

Just get it started on the crank and take a deep well socket and a long ratchet on the crank nut and turn the crank till the belt is all the way on.

a gatorback 29" 4 rib is all I could find too.

I used a 29.5" 3 rib belt on mine from Autozone. They can order them...

That 29" seems like it will put a lot of unnecessary stress on the alt pulley.

so a bump and hopefully someone knows of some place

If you just buy a kit, you'll get the belt as well as better contact with the water pump.

lol problem is all of their good selections only go up to 29" and down to 31"

But ill try NAPA and CarQuest 2morrow, and if that fails, a pulley kit it is.

I got a 29.5 goodyear gatorback SIX rib and cut one rib off carefully with scissors. It's been working fine for 2 years.
