TIMING BELT BROKE. VEHICAL WAS AT IDLE. I HAVE REMOVED EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE COVER - BELT IS RAPPED AROUND THE LOWER PULLY (DOUBLED UNDER IT'S SELF) ABOUT 2 INCH'S. CAN'T FIND A REPAIR SHOP IN MY AREA - WHAT DO I DO NOW..??? I NEED THIS CAR TO RUN AGAIN.

THANKS YOU - TIM

dig the old belt out to start. check crank pulley for a broken keyway as these do that. then reassemble like instructions in pics. after assembled chck compression as it may have bent valves in cyl head. if it's an 8 valve head you shold be ok but if a 16 valve you probably bent valves.
