* Your Owner's Manual: This is the first place to check. If you have the original owner's manual, it should have a diagram showing the belt routing.
* Chevrolet Repair Manuals (e.g., Haynes, Chilton): These manuals are usually available at auto parts stores or online retailers like Amazon. They often have detailed diagrams and explanations for different engine types. Make sure you get the manual specific to your Camaro's year and engine.
* Online Forums and Communities: Websites and forums dedicated to classic Chevrolets (like Camaro forums) are good resources. Search for your specific engine type (e.g., "1979 Camaro 350 small block belt diagram"). Someone there might have a scan or photo of a diagram they can share.
* Auto Parts Store Websites: Websites of major auto parts retailers (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Napa Auto Parts) sometimes have diagrams available if you input your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine.
Crucial Information You Need:
To find the correct diagram, you MUST know your Camaro's engine size and type. This will greatly narrow down the search. Common engine options for the 1979 Camaro included various V8s (like the 305, 350, and 400 cubic inch engines) and possibly a smaller V6. The engine size is usually stamped on the engine block itself.
Remember to always be careful when working on your car's belts. Disconnect the battery's negative terminal before starting any work to prevent accidental shorts.
