Need to know the modern equivalent fan belts for the T-16
Fan belts are for the Ford T-16 Mercury 239 Engine which has double pulleys. Each belt makes the same full loop around the dizzy and the engine has the correct special giant generator on top. It would be nice to find a pair of NOS GAU belts but failing that, I need to know a modern belt that I can buy at an auto parts place. Belts I have were a guess and work fine at idle and lower speeds but slip once things get going faster as they don’t seat deep enough and I can’t really raise the generator higher to maintain proper tension. I’d like to change them out before I button everything up in the engine compartment as its sure easier to work with the top armor cover off as it is right now.
What are other vehicle owners using for replacements?
