C3; length alternator belt

[Erik S.]

Hi All - during my weekend trip I broke my alternator belt and had to leave it on the highway. I have a 1968 BB (L71), no PS, no AC. What would be the correct length of this belt. Any recommendations where to get the correct belts?

Thank you,
Erik

2 sources..... 1st get what ever it takes to get your Vette off the hiway ASAP, even if it means a flat bed tow........its a huge target out there!! 2. Quanta has the license for GM belts. Good Luck!!

This one looks about right:

Am I right and would this be correct for judging purposes? If not, again recommendations are appreciated.

(ps Norm - I just left the belt hahaha - obviously I will not move 2 inches without taking the vette)

sorry Erik,,,for mis-reading..... a friend of mine did just that with a later Vette, on an inter-state for just less than 2hrs & it was gone, never recovered!!!
I'm the same way as you....they'd find bones from starvation before I'd leave it un-attended!!! PS... just ordered belts for mine on Friday from Quanta and rec'd confirmation they were shipped today..... seems Quanta has improved its delivery times!

I don't know about this belt, but GM still has a lot of belts available for C3. I just bought a complete set except for one which was repro.
