I'm going to get new belts for my 1973 Gran Torino soon, I'd like to get Gates Green Stripe belts since that's what one of the old ones is. It's a stock all original 302, and I'd like to get the alternator and fan belt. Does anyone know the exact size to get? I see about 5 or 6 different sizes for a 1973 Gran Torino with the 302 engine.

Gates Green Stripes are great belts.
Your sizes are going to depend on your engine options/configuration. Things like alternator amperage, with or without A/C or P/S, etc, etc.

take your known good sized belts with you to the parts house and either measure them or match them up
good luck finding an outfit with a belt measure thang, a real hardware store or power equipment service shop might have one |

There's no air conditioning, it does have power steering. The alternator is original and says 15V and 42A on top along with a Ford part number

And that's probably what I'll do since they aren't off the car yet
