Re: Serp belt.. What size do I need
Correct, but take note of the tensioner - you should have someone pull it roughly 1/2 back when you measure it, so you take the tensioner into account. Measuring w/o moving the tensioner back will result in a belt thats too long.

Just find out the length you need, and the number of ribs, and any competent parts guy should be able to find it.
The part number the belts sell by is actually the belts 'specs'... length, # ribs, etc.
If you just give them the length (in inches, not feet, and to the nearest 1/4") and # of ribs, they should be able to find you something close (they come in 1/4" measurement incriments usually).
