Interesting comment... volvo wasn't making overhead cam engines with a belt 35 years ago... but I guess 1976 is long enough ago.
The belt can break and you won't need anything more than a tow ($75?) and a new belt ($10-25 + install). Inspect the belt once a year for oil damage, and replace it at 50,000 mile increments. You'll be fine. There's a good safety factor built into the change interval, and the engine cannot hurt itself.

Now, if you had a B234 (740GLE 16V or 940GLE) that would be a different story... 35K change intervals, 2X $100 belts, significant engine damage if it breaks. $2000 engine repair bill is typical. Not kidding.
