What is the actual month and year of production on the car or the VIN?
That will tell us if it really is an 86 or if it is a 87 and it is the factory alarm.

The 10th digit in the VIN will be a G for a 86 and a H for an 87.
as well as the serial number will be between 100001 and 200000 for an 86 and between 500001 and 600000 for a 87.
Or production dates on the door jam, anything 5/86 and before is a 86.
Anything made 6/86 or after and before 7/87 is a 87.

T2s and 'verts used different serial numbers, for example my 88 'vert has 100302 as its serial number.

Yeah it's basically the factory alarm, although I don't know if it has starter kill or not. I have an aftermarket pager alarm, so I removed the factory one. Someone else should know specifications the alarm has.......
