Serpentine Belt Help 1983/258ci

I am trying to rig up a serpentine belt on a 1983 258. I should have all the brackets.

The TSM does not have much in the way of pictures. I have a 82 TSM and the 83 TSM is only a supplement and I have not been able to find one.

I do believe the smog pump was dropped in 83.

I need a lot of pictures of a 83 set up. I think I have the AC and alternator about figured out.

Still working on my bracket puzzle. I am in desperate need of help !!!

Here's the latest..



This bracket baffles me. It sits on top of head bolts. I really can't vision it being under the bolts, especially the bracket being aluminum.



I think I am missing a tensioner pulley that bolts to the top of this bracket.

those front two bolts have shoulders, still available new, but expensive, about $45.00 each, good luck, gz

I got it figured out. The brackets that I have are 1982. I thought they were 1983, which didn't have the smog pump.

This is what I end up with.



I can visualize a custom made bracket with an automatic tensioner go where the smog pump was located.
