Help keep engine accessories turning and reduce belt noise with the Gates Automotive XL High Capacity V-Belt (P/N 7417), a durable notched V-belt built for demanding classic engine drives. It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 1975-1982 Ford F-150 [L6-4.9L] and the 1968-1969 Ford Mustang [V8-7.0L] — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of cars, trucks, and buses.
- Variable-notched construction: as engine heat rises, the belt tightens on the drive, helping prevent slippage, improve belt performance, and reduce noise.
- Fiber-loaded rubber stock: adds flexibility along the belt length and provides greater lateral stability in the pulley.
- Form-ground profile: precise top-width and sidewall dimensional control for a proper fit to the pulley.
- Thermally-active polyester tensile cords: deliver maintenance-free performance when properly installed and tensioned.
Constructed from EPDM, it resists oil, heat, ozone, weather, and aging for improved belt life, and meets or exceeds SAE J636C specifications. Specs: HC41 cross section, .41 in (10 mm) top width, 42.33 in (1075 mm) outside circumference, and 41.5 in (1054 mm) effective length. Sold individually; the number of belts an engine uses varies by application, so confirm the count in the "Vehicles it fits" section. Made in the United States.
