Factory belt tensioner

Does anyone known the factory part number for a 88 Iroc tpi car? Are they still available? The aftermarket ones look very different and I want a GM original.

Thanks

Rock Auto, it's the ACDelco that says original equipment. Double check the photo shows the pulley with guide lips for the belt. Most of the modern ones use a smooth pulley.

Alternatively, if it's just a crunchy bearing, the stock pulley uses a VERY common bearing. IIRC it's the same as a front bearing for a 10SI GM alternator, or something like that. Parts stores have the bearings in stock for under $10.

Re: Factory belt tensioner
