Keep every engine accessory spinning with the Gates Automotive XL High Capacity V-Belt 7470, a durable, long-lasting replacement V-belt built for demanding engine drives. This Gates drive belt loops over the factory pulleys as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1973-1981 Chevrolet Impala (V8-5.7L), 1978-1981 Chevrolet Malibu (V8-5.0L), 1977-1980 Buick Century (V6-3.8L), and 1974 American Motors Matador (L6-4.2L) — with 885 applications in all, so check the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete list.

  • Variable notched construction: as thermal forces heat the belt, it tightens on the drive to help prevent slippage, improve 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 profile: delivers precise top-width and sidewall dimensional control for a proper fit to the pulley.
  • Thermally-active polyester tensile cords: provide maintenance-free performance when the belt is properly installed and tensioned.
  • Built to last: EPDM construction resists oil, heat, ozone, weather, and aging for improved belt life, and meets SAE J636C standards.

Specs: HC41 cross section, 36° angle, .41 in (10 mm) top width, 47.82 in (1215 mm) outside circumference, and 47 in (1194 mm) effective length. Made in the United States. Sold individually — quantity varies by engine and application, so confirm the number your vehicle needs.
