2.3L ('83-'97) Picture of a 1990 2.3 front of engine

[2 bronco 11s]

I need a picture of a 1990 2.3 belt system . This engine has no AC or PS . I know 1992 is different . Not sure of the 91’s . My coil packs are on opposite sides. Drivers side sits almost under ALT . If anyone knows for sure if it uses a tensioner and has one for sale I can use I would be interested. Still would like to see a picture . Thanks

Unfortunately my '90 isn't set up that way anymore and I barely remember how the tensioner bracket looked but without power steering the alternator pivoted up to tighten the belt with a crescent shaped slot on a bracket. I do have a spare '87-88 engine in my stash, don't remember if it's serpentine or not or if it has power steering... I'll try to look tonight.

The ALT is adjustable. It is a serpentine belt. Just figured it would have tensioner. One more thing, under the ALT which isn’t there is 4 bolt’s missing. Is there a bracket that bolts to the back side of the ALT ? Thank You

If you have the alternator adjuster then you have all of it, only 3 pullies, it's the simplest way possible... even my power steering setup I got from a '89 has a manual tensioner, as far as I know they didn't change to an auto tensioner until '92, which makes me want to look at the '92 I have in the yard but that might have to wait a couple weeks unless it isn't raining tomorrow night...

The 4 holes under the alternator are where the power steering bracket bolt to, they go nowhere

I have a 92 complete engine that’s going in it . I am removing the AC and PS from it though . The one in the truck is partially stripped . Thank you
