Default No hydraulic TB tensioner??? :confused:

Hey fellas.. I'm changing out my TB/water pump due to a bad water pump (well, actually a busted bolt from the last gorrilla to change it). Taking off the TB tensioner. I noticed it was directly bolted to the block. There is no hydraulic system. Just a pulley.??

Any ideas?

Why do some pics show a tensioner like this one:

... if its just a 'tighten and go' pulley only system?? I see empty bolt holes too.. ??

Thanks.

A couple of pic of the situation.. before I removed the TB, and after I removed the pulley. It goes where the long bolt is..

The tensioner is spring loaded. You will see a pin that needs to be pulled on the new one after you get it all installed and the belt put on.

I already have a 'new' one.. it is just a pulley... no pin. In the link I posted, there I do not have numbers 3 and 4. They were not on the car when I took it apart.. ??
