Reproduction fan belts

my experience with Quanta belts is that they are fine for going to the ice cream shop. if you plan on some high revving action they are no good. they flip over and fly off.

I totally agree. I’d say they are more for show purposes. The minute they roll, they are trash. I had one fly off at 5k on my 302 and it scarred my pulley, frame and hood underside....

Thanks for the input. I guess I'll put the old belts back on. Hard to find a belt that doesn't look too dicky-dacky on these cars....Joe

YES YES YES, if you drive your cars don't use them. Had one flip over on the freeway instant over heat. OK for trailer queen. JMO

Not much to choose from in the way of correct fan belts, unless you get lucky finding an NOS belt.

Quanta is who I’ve used on my Survivors (anything rubber needs attention on the old cars), BUT, they are flippers / rollers.

Whenever I opened all 6 barrels on my ‘66 GTO the Quanta belts would take off.

The photo below shows the 9017 flipper and an NOS 3071 that stays put.

Show and cruiser use only with the repros.
