1960 C1 spark plug, belt and air filter

[erick holover]

Can anyone tell me the correct spark plug, air filter and fan belt for my 1960 283- single 4 barrel 230 HP 4 speed car? I am looking for old parts and want to get the correct ones. Thank you.

The original a/c element for your application was GM #5646306. I don't have the Delco number for it, at the moment. A later SERVICE replacement element was GM #6484295 also known as Delco A98C.

Spark plugs were AC 44S also known as GM #5612386.

Fan belt was GM #3759221. This is a 3/8" wide belt of 55-1/2" length. It was of "wrapped" construction.

Unless this is a show car only, you don't want a 45 year old belt. The air cleaner will be very hard to find(read expensive). Plugs should be easy as they fit millions of old Chevys.

Erick,
For fan belt, you may want to check Quanta. Their ad states: Quanta belts are licensed GM Restoration Parts and are made to exact bluepring specifications assuring you authenticity and high quality.

I am happy with the set that I ordered for my '65.

They list the 1960 generator belt as B-009 and sells for $29.00. Their web address is www.quantaproducts.com

Hope this helps,
