I stopped at Autozone today to ask about the belt and you can get them by size (part number is categorized as such), however they really don't stock many 8 rib belts so you have to use a wire or stiff string to get an accurate length measurement. My alternator also started to die tonight, so I had a duralast alternator ordered for tomorrow morning. I think I might try to get mine rebuilt though after hearing about the duralasts not doing so well.
