Question Katech Tensioner Help

I purchased a Katech tensioner off a fellow board member for my Camaro and can't seem to get it to fit. The part numbers on the pieces are 2295 and 2220. If there is anyone here that has one of these tensioner can you check to see I have the right one. I think the one I have may be for a Vette.

Thanks

Thanks, I called and spoke to a guy at Katech but he was in the dyno room. He thought it may be the Vette one, but unsure. I thought someone might have one handy to see.

Damn, You gave him the part number and the best he could do was take a guess , hopefully someone with a Kaytech will chime in.

In Katechs defense, I said to him it looks like I would have to run a couple of spacers and he said that you likely have the Y type or Vette one, but he did not have the part number available. I don't want to bash Katech or create any hard feeling here.
