I own a '78 99EMS and have had great results with Gates belts. In fact, with about 250k on the clock I'm only on my 3rd belt. If yours is giving you problems with jumping off I'd suggest a serious look at a) pully alignment and condition and b) proper belt tensioning and retensioning about 200 miles after replacement. BTW, I'm also a professional auto mechanic and repair shop manager. bobrosnopsamdnet.att.net wrote in message <6f4cb9$da8nopsamsc03.worldnet.att.net>... >Looking for the ORIGINAL Saab belt that links the A/C compressor to the >alternator to the engine on a '77 model 99 with A/C. > >They are discontinued but there must be some out there somewhere. > >Yes, there ARE aftermkt belts- but they always jump off shortly after >installation - they're either too wide or the v-notch is too deep or...
