Default What length serpentine belt?

I have a 30 Coupe with a six volt alternator and a Cling's serpentine pulley system. Have sent them an e-mail but no response. Does anyone know the length of the Cling's serpentine belt so I can buy a spare at the auto parts store?

Ok, what did you “try”? My input had his website come up on top.

I have people that work for me, my biggest pet peeve is when they come to me and say “I can’t...” my questions are always did you look here, try this, etc. The answer is usually no! I always tell them to tell where you looked, not that you simply can’t find.

You should tell us what you tried, what you searched, where you looked. Then we can better help you! C26....

I tried Clings system but I don’t know why you’d get so agitated. Please ignore my future posts. Please place me on your ignore list.

Search “clings model a”, and it comes out on top! Clings system is way too generic for the results you seek. No agitation here! Just offering help.

Take a length of small rope, old fan belt, and wrap it around the pulley's where
the serpentine belt will go, and measure it end to end. That will tell the length of the belt you will need. Works for me every time.

Thanks bettlesr. That's what I needed. Couldn't look on the belt or measure with a tape cause I wasn't with the car.
