Detailed Product Description
Gates engineered the 7673 as a variable notched V-belt that tightens as engine heat builds, helping the belt stay engaged on the drive. That design supports smoother operation in high-load accessory systems and helps reduce the squeal and slip often associated with worn belts. The 67-inch effective length and 67.8-inch outside circumference make it a precise replacement for listed applications.
This belt cross-references Dayco 15670 for the same application. It is a strong match for owners searching for an Oldsmobile 98 accessory drive belt, an Oldsmobile Starfire V-belt, or a Dodge Monaco alternator and air conditioning belt. The Gates 7673 is also referenced across multiple aftermarket and OE-style part numbers for select vintage engine drive setups.

Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the HC41 section, 10 mm top width, and 67-inch effective length against the removed belt before installation. Inspect pulleys for wear, glazing, or misalignment, since those conditions can shorten belt life and affect tracking. Confirm the vehicle’s accessory drive layout and listed notes for the exact Oldsmobile 98, Oldsmobile Starfire, or Dodge Monaco application before service.
