The proper belt is a Continental, listed for Porsche power steering, on my
84 weird motor ABA hybrid van.  Odd size, forgot where I found the last
one.. Flaps won't give you the correct one...Close, but the angles aren't
really correct and they will slip sometimes

What Dennis said.  Hundred amp alternator is around the limit of what you
can drive with a 3/8" vee belt, and the wrap angle on the crank pulley is
deficient.
