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