When I worked at a gas station in the 60's as a young pup I would always get the dirty job of replacing the broken belt. I think the head mechanic and owner would be laughing in the background when they assigned me the job. Usually the job was on a car like the late 60's T-bird. Yes it had a belt, several, like in seven. And it would never fail that the broken one is the one farthest back in the line of belts. These T-birds had a belt for every function, power steering, AC, air pump, alternator, fan, water pump, and some other. I always remembered seven because I had to remove all to just to replace one. The serpentine must have been invented by a gas station helper like me. Bless them.
