James,
ETKA lists a P/S v-belt for an '87 as:
#023-903-137A   10x1075mm
I have found this belt at the dealer, and is always wider and  thicker
than FLAPS replacements.

The Kid behind the counter @ flaps,
this morning looks up my power steering belt, OK?
I ask him what the numbers mean.
He sez one is width & one is length.
The number was something like 15 X 1530 ? OK,
I ask him what these numbers mean?
Do they somehow correlate with metric or A/S sizes.
He sez I think that means the belt is...
Four Inches Wide ???
I mutter something under my breath about what he must tell his wife,
buy one a little wider, & now I'm off to see if it will fit !!!
Thanks to everyone for your help & insights !
Have a great week end !!! :o)
John C....
