    Is this an original 73 smog belt?

    Part number agrees with AIM as the water pump to smog pump pulley belt. It was with some late 72-early 73 smog parts I picked up. Pump is mid-September 72. Hoses are ink-stamped correct for 70-72 72 and 73 small block.
    Does this look like the factory-installed belt? By the way, the tower clamps are dated 2/72, 2/71, 2/72, and 3/72.

    I think it's original. Later GM SERVICE belts of this part number had printed script rather than embossed.

      I think the belt is very nice! I would also suspect it is original.
      And if you don't have any use for those tower clamps...

        It is the original belt. It matches the original belt removed from one of my 73s by me and saved when the car was nearly new. 73 L82 auto w/air. I would expect it was used on other 73 applications as well.
