Do a cross ref with Gates Green Stripe Fleet belts. Dayco are also excellent belts. Used only Dayco on my race car and never had belt slippage or any kind of trouble. Don't expect matched sets. Use only Gates on the 8 rib hydraulic fan belt and no cracks or wear in 60K.

Dayco has worked a lot better than the green stripe stuff. IMHO,  All of mine are now Dayco with new ones in the box .

Went to NAPA yesterday. Gave them the two Dayco sleeves I had from the old Dayco belts (Dayco now made in China)
The clerk gave me belts marked NAPA Premium Quality Made in USA.
Belt # 25 9435 for the power steering belt @ $19.99 ea
Belt # 25 9660 for the alternator belt. @ $28.99.
Good enough?
