Hello all,

My 53 convertible coupe needs new belts.

She's got a 327 with PS. Anyone know what size fan belt and PS pump is correct?

Thank you,

-Chris

Did you check the Parts Cross Reference here on this site? I didn’t either but I would expect something as basic as that to be there.

From the RockAuto website 3 different options for cars with PS. All 51-54 with PS would be the same. With these part #'s you should be able to source it locally:

Also now in the Parts X-Ref

Added a Search Box to the Parts X-Ref so you can search across all the fields/categories if you are unsure where to look.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the help. Funny enough, I checked the parts X-Reference before doing anything.

For whatever reason, I missed the fan belt on there. Don't know how I could have because its listed a ton of times.

The 51-54 generator belt isn't on there though. It could be that I didn't see that and moved on.

Anywho, I ended up taking care of the belts this morning. I have an extra 327 laying around that was from a parts car.

I checked those belts for markings and saw that it had a Gates 7410 for the generator belt, and a Gates 7455 for the PS pump belt.

My local Napa ended up having both of these in stock. They are made by Gates but have Napa markings on them.

The part numbers are as follows:

Generator Belt: Napa - 25 7410 / Gates 7410

PS Belt: Napa - 25 7455 / Gates 7455

I threw these on the car and they fit perfectly. I'll go ahead and add them to the parts X-reference after I submit this reply.

That search box is a great add Kev! I'm sure it'll be super helpful in the future.

Thanks again fellas,

-Chris

They should all be under fan belt. As that's really what they are. If you just search for belt, everything will come up now.

Also I think before people had best listed under cooling and also engine. So that may have been the reason you didn't see them all. The search box should help with that now.

Ah, okay. That makes sense. I didn't even think to check cooling initially.

Thanks again for the help.
