Classic/Antique Car Repair: belt replacement, monte carlo ss, v belts


Question
Hi,
I was driving my 1984 Monte Carlo SS yesterday when it made a clanking noise and the power steering stopped working, it was also making squealing noises when turning prior.  When I looked under the hood I saw the belt came off the pulleys and now need to replace it.  Can  you give me a belt diagram or tell me where I can get one as you probably know there are several grooves on the pulleys.  I don't think there is a belt for the a/c either so if you can help that would be great.

Thanks,
V

Answer
If the car has multiple V belts, line of sight will give you the proper grooves. That is lining up the grooves either with a straight edge or by sight. A parts store can look up and sell you the proper belt for each application. If the car has a single serpentine belt then check the following web site. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-SearchBox&r...
