Where to get blower belts?

Im walking a thin line between my belt rubbing my waterpump pulley, and running out of tensioner travel. I need an 8-rib blower belt, approximately 58inches long. Anyone know of a local place where I can purchase one? Actually, Ill likely need to get 2-3 and return the ones that dont fit.

Thanks!

Don't go to Automotive Engineering, they have a shitty return policy. You only get store credit.

Crap - thanks for the FYI. Perhaps if I buy one at a time and try them, they will give me store credit and Ill just use it towards the next one?

That's what they said about my sample tube for my c&l maf. NeedforSpeed has the sample tube, maybe you should try there for the blower belt as well.

May sound stupid, but have you tried just a regular parts house? All it is is a 8 rib serpentine belt, I've seen them come from regular parts houses, call around

Try NAPA. They have plenty of 8 rib belts, you just may have to go to your local store and get them shipped from the main store, but they can do that in one day.
