I'm pretty sure they are the same. I put a tensioner from a blown 87 engine onto an 82 engine no issues.

Rockauto also shows same part numbers for all 80 to 86 tercels and 87-88 wagons.

Picture of the broken part please! I have a lot of first gen emission stuff. Also a picture of the tensioners.

I had to use the 82 tensioner on my 81 when I did the seals or I'd send it to you.

All of mine looked the same oddly enough.

just been to pick pull today they have a 82 sedan white with no factory AC so no pulley to pick up but i solve the ported vaqum switch ,i go tomorow pick some extra engine parts like extra carb etc,so if you have a extra pulley of old school will be great,the one from tr4 wont work
