the tensioner was pulled off a shelf at my local NAPA parts store.
getting everything to line up properly didn't happen without a little cutting and grinding.
the threaded stud at timing cover was shortened 0.75" then a 1.00" long coupling nut threaded onto it allowed thru-bolt for the lower mounting point of tensioner.

upper mounting point of tensioner at upper power steering bracket thru-bolt.
at this location i had to push the tensioner back into the alternator bracket to line up with the other pulleys.
