I threw a belt on my 3800SC engine today. I have no idea as to how the new one should be routed. Does anyone have a pic that they can post? It is the alt/water pump belt.

Thanks in advance

Bump.. anyone?

what did it come out of

bonneville, grand prix or buick.. if bonneville I can help bonnevills were routed differently I found out after buying a GP belt and was like what the... cause it was way to short.

88 5spd Modified 3800 Series II Supercharged Formula

My engine is the GTP engine with the alt mounted on top. I did not realize that the Bonnie was routed different.

wish I could help ya looked around the web with nothing on it either. My dad drew a belt diagram for the supercharger/alt routing for me would've given you that if you had the same motor as me.

you aren't the only one, I was baffled why the belts were shorter and soon after found out they were routed differently.. things can never be the same when it comes to cars

Below is a photo of my belt routing. The tensioner for the accessory belt has been changed to a grooved pulley. The tensioner for the supercharger is for a GTP.

The accessory belt I used is a Gatorback 40060835 - 6PK2120 and the supercharger belt is a Gatorback 4060660 -6PK1675. The grooved Idler pulley is Gates # 38009 or Goofyear # 49003.

I hope this helps.
