I got a good one. USually I'm fairly smart - today I'm a numbnut. THe idler bracket broke on my 'bird, belt fell off turning thru an instersection. Of course I knew it immediately and I pulled over and stopped.
I opened the hood, saw what happened, and the belt wasn't there. I walked back to the intersection and sure enough, there it was laying in the middle of the road.
Put the new bracket on today. It's the exact same part number. Followed the diagram on the core support. Belt is at least one foot too long. It can only go one way, and BTW - I am fairly hip, so I know it can only go one way....
Went to Autozone bought the belt they say it's supposed to have. IT'S about six inches too long.
Now I will offer this - the core support diagram shows a pulley my car never had, but the point is, this is the belt that came off the car, unless the weirdest of weird coincidences happened and the hot belt laying in the street where there were no others wasn't mine.
It's a p/s, a/c car. I'm mystified.
