Original Merc belt is best. There is no direct sizing correlation but MAX 2000 is closest.

I use dayco MAX1078 on my two '76 t/t's. You can buy one (C/T), put it on and if it doesn't look right take it back. Jeff

proper dimensions for a 57-75293 merc belt are 46" x 1.25", the discontinued gates # is a 6124, the goodyear # is a 71159, the merc manual says if at all, shorter is better, so the folks at gates suggested using a gates 6303, which is 46.25" long, not 46 5/8" like the dayco 2000!, too long there. the dayco # is TopMaX 1080:)
