they lasted about 4 miles on my L78
I've got NAPA Gold on there now with no problems.

I can appreciate the sacrifice someone would make to run a 'dated' component to have the correct appearance, but in this case when the performance of said part is so dismal, I'm amazed the vendor hasn't totally revised the design.

Agree ^^^^^
I’m sure Quanta has heard the complaints over the years, just how we have in this small thread about the belts they make.
That’s reproduction parts in a nut shell, close, but not close enough.

Thank you all for taking the time to discuss these belts. Although my car is just a 325hp 396, I think I will try to find older aftermarket belts that don't have cogs on either top or bottom. My a/c belt is an older Gates belt & has held up well. I will figure out the other 2. I really didn't expect this much responce. Thanks again, Joe
