serpentine vs single groove v-belt

well now that my waterpump dilema is over what pullys should i use
i have both serpentine or single groove v-belt.

thanks john

 

i like serpentine belts. more contact area and less slippage, and they usually look a little better. you also have more pullies selections when it comes to chrome, aluminum and/or underdrive ones

 

I run a serp setup on mine.

 

here's mine....

 

but david i just got the single groove pullys you helped me find today.
j/k i know there are a lot of benifits to running serp. but i like the old school too.
mine would just be a 3 pully set up no p/s or ac

 

Thats more or less the same as mine except; i run a power steering delete.

 

serp......

 

can i find a belt that small. for just alt,waterpump and crankshaft

 

yes, use a string to get your measurement

 

run the v grove it is more old school they just look better in my opinion

 

Serpentine all the way. Last way longer, look better.

 

I like my v belts

 

i think the same way. must be the generation gap coming into play between us and the "old folks"










Like Ray.......

 

I like the serpentine look. Thats what I run on my Sprint and will hopefully figure out a set up for the Comet GT. Here is a good websight to get you in the ball park once you know what length and number of ribs you need.

If you are going to make the rest of the car look old school ... V-belts.

If you are more into function ... serpentine.
