Did you at least google that belt number? And just a FYI, you don't use the 367 on the end

And please search the site and read. That combo has been around a number of yrs.

your answer is in the second link in that thread I put in my first post.

you can also search and find more info and read up on these cars and find pretty much anything you need to know.

IMO, steel pulley or steel hub is better than the aluminum because of the eaton shaft being steel as well. I have installed some aluminum pulleys and had issues with them spinning on the shaft. The billetflow and other aluminum pulleys with steel hubs are fine since they have a steel hub.
