I have a H22A1 which originally had air conditioning, but is going to be run without. I bought the "non-AC" alternator belt only to discover it is about 1" too long, and has 5 ribs instead of the six needed. It doesn't make sense to change the pullies, so I'm searching for the proper belt.

What alternator belt do you use?

 

stick a tape measure aroung the pulleys. the length in inches is the last three digits of the belt #.
Example: 37.5" 6 groove would be ??6??375.

 

yup. the belt i bought that fit best was 375k6

the guys at pep boys, auto zone, and advanced were COMPLETE idiots.

finally at one store, they let me go back behind the counter and get the right belt.

 

this happened to me too. Olympic auto parts had the right one though. i didnt have to do any measuring, i just told them no ac/ps.

 

This didn't work for me. My car used to have A/C and I had removed it, but left the pullies on, which are 6-rib. But, a car that never had A/C has a 5-rib belt... AND the length is different. The "non-A/C" belt of 37.5" was too long and could not be tightened fully. Only a 060365 fit my situation.
