Keep your engine's accessories spinning and help quiet a squealing, cracked drive belt with the Gates Accessory Drive Belt 7580, a high-capacity XL V-belt built for demanding engine drives. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across many classic American cars, trucks and buses — including the 1972-1978 Dodge Charger V8-5.2L / V8-5.6L / V8-5.9L / V8-6.6L / V8-7.2L, 1958-1960 Chevrolet Impala V8-4.6L / V8-5.7L and 1975-1978 Chrysler Cordoba V8-5.2L / V8-5.9L. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

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

The EPDM belt carries an HC41 cross section with a 0.41 in (10 mm) top width, a 58 in (1473 mm) effective length and a 58.81 in outside circumference. Meets or exceeds SAE J636C specifications. Country of origin: United States. Quantity varies by application — many listed engines use two — and the belt is sold individually, so order the number your drive requires.
