86 5.0L

so I hopped in my 86 for a quick trip to the bank, get to the last turn and suddenly, I lose steering response WHILE making the turn[:@], thought great, she stalled, look down see my rpms at 1200, i yell "F*&^!!!!!" go to the bank, found out I have 0.00 in my account, yell some more, then say f*ck it and drive home, pop the hood see the belt dangaling.

It was less then 2 miles, and mostly coasting, started smelling burnt coolant, my gauge never went over L in normal, just wonder what I should check for after she cools down.

You should be ok if she didn't overheat......need to find out why the belt decided to take a hike. Tensioner or bad/loose pulley?? Maybe just a bad belt.....

Check your coolant level and make sure you aren't leaking any coolant.

make sure no pullies are locked up like tensioner. idler, air pump and or water pump

check oil for coolant
