Re: '86 iroc 350tpi

Souns like the stock setup. The v-belt setups had the alt on the upper passenger side (Clock position 10) and the serpentine setups had them on the drivers side. (Clock position 2) 1986 would have been the v-belt setup. However the 350 was not offered in 1986. It's a common swap though. How do you know it's a 350? (And not a 305?) the 8th digit of your vin should be a "F". If so, then your car came equipped with the TPI 305.
