I'm using Van's rebuilt 60amp alternator on a 180hp IO-360. The alternator kit instructions say to start with a Gates 7350. Unfortunately the unhelpful clerks at Schucks don't carry Gates belts and have no idea how to cross reference them to anything other than car model/year. I'll have to order it online from rockauto.com or other.
I used a string to measure around the starter ring gear and alternator pulley. That came out to about 33". According to rockauto.com, the Gates 7350 is 35-5/8" long. That sounds too long, but I'm not sure if that's inside or outside diameter of the belt.
Any recommendations? Otherwise I'll just order 10 belts of various sizes...
Thanks,
Dave
