belt options for 12a
I have an 81 FB, with the A/c and air pump removed. I've been using a Gates 7320 belt. It's fine for a bit then it starts squealing @ 4000-6000 rpm range. Is there a better option for this application?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I had the same problem even with 2 belts and solved the problem with some sanding and cleaning of the pulleys and proper belt tension (see thread).

Get a duel pulley for alternator available from Mazdatrix for about $50 and two identical new belts. This should allow you to redline with no squealing belts.
