Belt Type

This may sound like a silly question, but...I have a 99 F150, 4.2L, 6 Cyl. It does not have A/C. When shopping for a serpentine belt, I'm asked if it's a 6 point or a 7 point. I think it's a 7 point because, including tensioner, there are 7 pulleys. The shop agree'd, but to be sure....what is the "extra point" that the 6 point doesn't cover?

Thanks.

They mean, how many ribs are on the belt. These are the ribs that go into the ribs on the pulleys.

Ah, I guess I was off base. Thank you, Jimmy.
