Hi Don, you may end up needing to count out the teeth on your old belt. Your
'82 should be using the 113 tooth version (035-109-119). From '84 on up, the
GT's were running on 120 tooth belts(034-109-119). So the first concern would
be that there isn't a shorter belt available...one of those(probably the
former) is going to fit. Are you routing the new belt correctly? Have you
matched them up side by side?
