problems replacing timing belt tensioner

[sciroccos@attbi.com (Chris Z.)]

Aw c'mon,  I would never use a come-along from the rafters.   Well, not
unless I broke the chain-fall from the rafters setup I have :P

...and I'll bet he pulls engines with a come-along hanging from a garage
rafter, too.

  Robbie-
    You can make a tool to hold the two-holer. (I made one out of a piece of
  1/4 X 1" aluminum strap and two machine screws) Or buy one.
  But I'm sure someone here (Cheap?) has a down-and-dirty way of doing it.

    Hey all,

    I just got the tensioner off my '83 8v, only to find that it does not
  match the new one I have waiting.  The old one has a big nut on it so you
  can tighten it, the new one just has two little holes where the nut should
  be. Do you need a special tool to tension the new ones or something!?
  Looking at pics from adirondack and gprparts.com the all have the two hole
  design.  What do I do?  Please help I need to get back on the road!
Thanks
  in advance-

    Rob
