Can anyone tell me were I can find a adjusable link to tighten my belt and ditch my stock swing down tensioner. I have seen in Magazines where people have an adjustable link from there water pump to the alternator to tighten their belt, and I don't know where to find them. March has something close to what I need, but I dont want a dead pully. I only have the alternator, water pump, and crank, all other accessories have been deleted. Anyone have the same setup. Any help will be great.

I got mines from Summitracing.com. Don't remember the part number but just look up March alternator bracket. You can take a look at it in the link that's in my sig.

I have the March one on my 393. Works great, and is light weight.

Thanks guys for the help and the quick replies. I just went to summit and order it. Looks a lot better then that stock tensioner. I can't believe I over looked that part number at march, I guess I just needed to see it on a real motor.
