Serpentine belts

It would seem that the belts that are on the front of the engine (so sorry Im halfway car illiterate but Im learning lol) are worn a bit. 3 of those lil belts are actually missing 1 tooth. I've been lookin around but cant seem to find any that I can buy.

They are called serpentine belts right? Anyone know where I can buy them?
Btw its a 2.8L 2BBL carbed engine in an 85 camaro. Thanks for any responses comin up

I can't seem to find any pulley belts that I can purchase...... I'm afraid the ones I have now may snap because of the missing tooth on each one.

thank you VERY much lol

I feel like an idiot calling them pulley belts DOH



Hmm missing teeth and still driving? Lol my friend was kinda freaking out he was like "I wouldnt even start the car very much, dont need those snapping" and hes the car guy heh

I believed it to cuz i wasnt sure. I dunno still seems kinda odd driving it knowing theres a tooth missing on the belts lol

i have a beater 85 sunbird..theres a 6" patch with no teeth on the alternator belt. Ive had it for about 30k miles now and its fine.

Belts do snap though. Its a good idea to replace them, but its not as serious as you thought.
