Who had the first belt?
I think its either the inline 6 OHC of the Firebird year ????
or the FIAT 124 DOHC 1966.
BTW that FIAT engine was designed by A.Lampredi of Ferrari v-12 fame, it
started as a 1438 cc in 66 but was last seen in the US as a 2000.
Turbocharged, supercharged, and raced by the factory till ???
Francois Dion could fill in the missing bits I am sure. But the GM
inline 6 ?????
