So, I have been putting my old car back together since my buddy bought it and had the engine redone and replaced everything on the suspension. My only question right now is...What can I use for a tensioner pulley since he took the power steering pump and put it in the circular recycling bin lol. Any help or input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Dustin

I've never done this on a 240 but I had to do it on a T-bird once. Get under your hood and take a good long look at the gap where you need that pulley. Memorize mounting options, clearance, etc. Then go to the biggest junk yard in your area and look for a tensioner pulley that you can crossover. Start with similar makes - first nissans then other imports. Then when you find something that works you might need a different length belt, but it shouldn't be too difficult. That's the best advice I've got. I wish I could tell you exactly what would work.
