I'm using belt# 15380. I think that's a Gates nbr, but it cross-references
at Advance Auto, so shouldn't be too hard to match. Haven't had any problems
with it, nor have I adjusted it in the 6k miles since my conversion.
After 4 mitsubishi alt's in 8 yrs (ok, I think 2 were used, and 1 was a
'rebuilt' at a local shop), I too am thrilled with the Delco replacement.
I didn't really realize how annoying the headlight draw was at idle until
I went with the Delco. I had all 3 wires hooked up (exciter/idiot light
thingy) and a fusible link between alt and ammeter.
