The "B" series belts are industrial, not automotive, and can fail prematurely like mine did, likely due to the small pulley diameter of the alternator. A much better choice is the NAPA "22" series or Gates "TR green stripe". I've switched from a
solid 55" B-52 to a
notched NAPA 22-545 or Gates TR 22-545 green stripe, both 55.08".
The very helpful link below was posted from
john in Illinois in a thread I started back on 1/22/19 on belt failure, and should be beneficial here also.
