Continental 13681 Accessory Drive Belt

Continental 13681 Automotive V-Belt

Continental 13681 is an accessory drive V-belt built for classic fan, alternator, generator, and air conditioning drive applications. With a 0.41-inch top width and 68.10-inch length, it is a fitment-specific belt for select Chrysler, Dodge, and Oldsmobile vehicles, including 1955-1967 Chrysler 300, New Yorker, Newport, Imperial, Town & Country, Dodge Charger, Dodge Monaco, Oldsmobile 88, and Oldsmobile 98 applications.

The Continental Automotive V-Belt line focuses on consistent belt geometry and dependable drive performance. Part number 13681 uses EPDM compounds for heat and abrasion resistance, along with fiber reinforcement to help control stretch over time. The result is a belt that maintains traction and runs quietly in accessory drive systems that demand stable tension and accurate fit.

What It Helps Address

• Squealing or slipping accessory drive belts
• Incorrect belt length for factory pulley routing
• Loss of tension from belt stretch
• Heat-related belt wear and cracking
• Uneven pulley contact in classic V-belt systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley routing, accessory position, and belt length before installation. This belt is listed for specific fan, alternator, generator, and air conditioning configurations, so confirm the vehicle’s accessory layout matches the fitment notes. Proper tension is important for quiet operation and long belt life, especially on matched-set applications and older Chrysler and Oldsmobile drive systems.

Quality Assurance

Continental’s accessory drive belt construction uses EPDM materials, fiber reinforcement, and SAE J636-based dimensional standards to support consistent performance in automotive service. Part number 13681 is engineered for stable traction, controlled elongation, and durable operation in classic vehicle accessory drives.
