Correct Dates for A/C P/S Alt Belts
« on: August 27, 2015, 05:59:58 PM »
Hello all.

I need your expertise regarding correct dates for the engine belts for a 11/10/'69 Dearborn Mustang.  All of the engine (351C 4V) components
(block, heads, intake, exhaust, water pump etc. have October cast dates except the harmonic balancer which is stamped 9J.  Should the belts
be dated 3rd or 4th quarter '69 or could it be a mixture of both?  Were there multiple belt suppliers supplying Dearborn?

Thanks for your assistance!!

Think I would stay with the 2nd or 3rd quarter on the belts

And it would be common practice to have a main supplier and at least one additional supplier for belts (like other soft parts such as heater hoses) for Dearborn IMHO.  IF your going with original or NOS belts its all going to be able what you can find at this point.

At least your building a Cleveland ;)
