Where does everybody get their fan belts? I got some from the local parts stores just to get the motor running and the available belts look like crap! I heard bad things about Quanta repro belts flipping and having trouble. I’m looking for alt, PS and A/C compressor belts for my 69 340 motor?

If you don't have A/C and don't buzz the engine Quanta will work. You also need proper alignment.
Next choice is get a dealer to do a parts location for you with the Mopar brand which weren't OEM back in the day but at least Mopar.
I scored on E bay from time to time because I know the lengths and corresponding P/N's to what I'm after.

I'm lucky I guess.
When I need belts I go to a friend of mines shop. He has enough mopar brand belts to fill a pickup truck bed.
I just need to rummage thru them and find the right lengths and widths to match my needs
IMO , if your gonna drive it more than on or off a trailer,,, avoid the Quanta belts altogether
With all the old problems reported with Quanta belts I wonder if they have improved them in recent years? Anybody buy any recently who can report on how they are working?

I'm driving my car, I put Goodyear belts on...granted...I've only got 400 miles on the resto and rebuild, but I am driving it...not worrying about show belts, have to give a little...
