$21.99

Keep the air-pump-to-vacuum-pump accessory drive turning with the Gates Automotive XL High Capacity V-Belt (MPN 7234), a durable replacement V-belt built for demanding engine drives. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1981-1982 Buick Electra, Estate Wagon and LeSabre [V8-5.0L], the 1981-1982 Oldsmobile 98 and Custom Cruiser [V8-5.0L], the 1981-1982 Oldsmobile Delta 88 [V8-4.3L and V8-5.0L], and the 1981 Pontiac Bonneville, Catalina, Laurentian and Parisienne [V8-5.0L]. It occupies the vacuum pump / air-pump-to-vacuum-pump belt position.

  • Variable-notch design: as thermal forces heat the belt, it tightens on the drive to help prevent slippage, improve belt performance and reduce noise.
  • Fiber-loaded rubber stock: adds flexibility along the belt's length and provides greater lateral stability in the pulley.
  • Form-ground: precise top-width and sidewall dimensional control for a proper fit to the pulley.
  • Thermally-active tensile cords: maintenance-free performance when properly installed and tensioned; resists oil, heat, ozone, weather and aging for improved belt life.

Meets or exceeds SAE J636C specifications. Country of origin: Mexico.
