check out the 2nd pic down on the left, that's the one you want or need to go by, but if yours works, no worries, as long as you know your belt size. Just make sure your water pump is turning the right way because it should turn reverse style for serp. setups compared to the old v belt setups that turned the same as the crank.
If you have a reverse flow pump and it's not turning the right way it can overheat, and vice versa, like if you have an ol style pump on it not reverse and you got the belt ran to make it spin in reverse etc.

i guess it works fine it doesnt over heat any so i guess im not going to worrie about it to much but thats for the advice
