Hay I got a 99 GS 420a with an Automatic tranny and I need to know how many ribs are on my belt so I can order an underdrive crank pulley and maybe a few more goodies from Summit Racing.
The guy at Summit shot me a fastball and asked me if I got 4 ribs or 6.
What size or part number belt should I order too?
I'm out of town so I cannot pop my hood to get a look see.

"Using the AFX sizes causes for the tensioner to max out (turned all the way to tighten). When they max out they usually don’t have enough tension, the tensioner bolt usually snaps, and no more tension can be applied when the belt stretches a little after initial break-in. K0 = Vribbed 50 = 5 ribs 490 = length in inches. The best belt on the market is BY FAR the Gatorback brand belts. They are very tough, don’t stretch, and if they do slip where as a normal cheap belt would squeal these belts just tend to hiss (barely can be heard)."
