Looking for a belt tensioner for my tempo <84gl, 2.3, Dealer installed a/c, w/ p/*>.


i know the part number for the ready-aire brand of this is 1917, but autozone doesnt stock it, and prolly cant get it. i am afraid that the part i orded will show up, and it will be just the pulley, and not the entire assembley. anybody able to find one incase autozone fails?

Napa only lists a 2.0 available. http://www.napaonline.com/masterpage...Tensioner+Assy

Parts america lists the 2.3 and it the same part# as the 2.0. http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...pe=819&ptset=A

hey, i like the partsamerica one. that is just what it looks like. cheaper too. halfways tempted to tell autozone to shove it at this point.



btw, my part wasnt on the 4:00 delivery truck. anybody know what that means? <hint, no deliveries after 4>

It means...MONDAY at noon if you're lucky.

here is what i just found out what it means:

part comes from el paso. el paso doesnt have part. cant get part till wednesday <they only found this out after i showed up>. find out part is pulley ONLY. cant do that, pully is permantly mounted to assembley. i got refund, and am now digging around. checker is no go, hoping napa can help.

well, i ordered the part from parts america from my local checker yesterday. came in today, go to put it on the car, and the holes dont line up.

hoping napa can help...

napa pic shows the same thing



btw, holes are too far apart on the new tensioners

Got a drill?

yes



and no

Well... it was just an idea. What year is it again? I have a mid 80'* something 2.3L in a Ford ranger I may be able to send your way.
