Topic: C5AE-8620-F BELT???

[outlawincorporated]

Last night I was digging through some parts I have collected over the years and found a fomoco Power steering box kit with part number C5ZZ-3A635-E and a date code of 7-31-1965.

what I found interesting amongst the pieces inside was a original belt dated 3rd quarter of 1965 with a belt number of C5AE-8260-F (images attached)
Bob Mannels book doesn't seem to list this belt reference, so I reverted to other ford books I have and came up with the following which I would like a little explanation on.

C5AE-8260-F. MUSTANG, FAIRLANE AND FALCON. 8 CYLINDER 289.
for application; power steer w/o air con - dealer installed - w/o therm.

confused by the comment "w/o air - dealer installed"?
by my records the correct belt for a FORD MUSTANG 1966 with power steer no air con and without thermactor is; C5AZ-8620-K with a belt marking of C5AE-8620-U

is it just another belt that could be used in this application that is not listed.

happy to here from the experts.

I read YOUR wording as the PS Kit is a "Dealer installation Kit" on a 289 Mustang, Fairlane or Falcon W/O Air conditioning and without smog so possibly the belt differs than the belt used on a Factory installed PS System? just my two centavos

thanks Richard thanks for your input, that could make sense..... but then why would ford or one of there suppliers make a service part so early on in the 66 production that was different to the factory 66 power steer set up

the only difference I can tell visually is that the F variation belt is 1/2 inch smaller than the U variation.
(I have several NOS assembly-line power steer belts to compare)

the kit I have comes with pump, pulleys, hardware and hoses that are all consistant with factory correct 66 power steering systems..

Per the 75 MPC, 65, 66 full size Ford, Fairlane, Mustang with 289 power steering. In 67 the description changes to "dealer Installed" power steering. These applications are for C9PZ-8620-CB whish is the service replacement. I didn't go into further years (chicken's almost done). The belt has a Motorcraft number of JC-460, 1/2 X 46 inches. Warning: this belt is for use in the USA only, no Canadian use is permitted.

JIM, glad I'm from down under then, I'm sure me importing it would cause political uproar

my information in the above post came from the 66 MPC.
