Michael,

I want to save you from falling down the fan belt rabbit hole. A couple =
of years ago I wrote the attached article for our club magazine. It =
should  help to give you a clear path forward.

Michael,  as I recall you are running an alternator on your 100. Has the =
original 100 generator pulley been fitted to the alternator, as the =
original alternator pulley would definitely require a totally different =
belt than would be correct for the 100 pulleys?

I went to the NAPA store today to get a V-belt and was sold a smooth =
belt with an FH (Fractional Horsepower) designation.
The packaging said it was for lawn and household applications of less =
than 1 HP. =20
I asked the sales clerk if an FH belt was suitable for automotive use =
and was told "Yes". =20
Now I see that Google AI says no--that such a belt is [i]not[/i] =
suitable for cars. =20
Who is right--AI or NAPA and if not FH which designation is correct?

Best--Michael Oritt
