Default L78

Another one with double belts on the alternator. I bet the car was built in LA? That’s the fourth totally original L78 I have seen with double belts . Would like to see the fan and clutch. I can bet it has the Eaton fan clutch. The double belts have nothing to do with the smog .

I tuned up the picture to better show the twin belts.

Default Belts

The double belts are crazy looking. Have photos of the other three original cars if anyone would like to see them.
