Generator Belt Part Number

[rfitzpatrick]

I'm having to replace my alternator with the generator. I'll need to change belt length too. All my related pullies are standard -- a generator needs a longer belt than alternator, for my application. What might that part number/length might be -- where can I find this info
Tks Guys

It may vary a bit depending on the Timing Gear cover. Later covers held the generator "higher" ostensibly to better clear the coolant pipe.

(Nearby and handy) My spare engine (earlier "lower" timing cover - likely yours) has on it a "Goodyear Hi-Miler 22430" which is a "cog-belt" on the inner side. You may not want this since it's not a "stock" appearance. I have placed next to it two belts which are the more common belt sold by Tam's and these are marked "42-6324"

Another thread I elaborate about these belts. https://fordbarn.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1467681 There is some "finesse" necessary to place these apparently 42" "B" section belts.

How can one tell the difference of the timing gear covers?
