It does turn easily. Just checked. Cautiously optimistic now. Come on Amazon. Don't let me down. As for the gas, like anything else, if you're willing to pay.. Two race gas outlets near my home. One of the few things I keep from my wife. Others I know get aviation fuel. I'm not privileged enough to have access.

So less frustrated, I just looked in the tech wiki, and it’s listed for your car the proper fan belt for your car is a Gates 7340.

Re: O No!!! Killed my '70 srl?
Well, not to go too far off topic, but the engine doesn't REALLY need 110 octane but I bet it runs well in hot weather! If you'd like to save a few bucks, I've been very happy with Boostaine and you could decide how much more octane you want to run. Some complain about the funny color on the spark plugs, but it's worked well in my higher compression engine (11+ or so to 1?). One 32oz can will take 93 octane and turn it into 187 gallons of 96 pretty economically. I carry it around with me and have a bottle to measure out how much to add to 11 gallons of gas. The 32oz can will make 35 galons of 100 octane out of 93 if you need something stronger. The stuff at the parts stores are pretty much junk. Fortunately I have full control over my ignition timing or I might be in trouble. I'm not currently running any booster in these 60ish temps but will add some as they start to climb.

Right, I should have added 'legally, for road use'...

Wow did this thread take on a whole new direction, from overheating to illegal fuel! Someone call the FBI we have confession’s to the use of illegal fuel. Anyway not sure how it got to this new direction, but I think it would be good to stay within the subject at hand. Squirrel
