I'm questioning the reliability of the plastic idler that came with my vortech kit. It has a little bit of wobble in it, so I am looking to replace it asap. Does anyone know of a metal replacement pulley that I can use here?

Also I understand that the idler pulley and belt tensioner provided with the kit are Ford parts, does anyone know what year, and model ford these or taken from? So if I ever need to replace them, like I do now, I can go to the parts store and buy them instead ordering them marked up through vortech.

go to vortechsuperchargers.com . go to the tech section and open up the installation manual for the 4.3L kit. Go to the parts list and call superchargersonline.com and have them order the tensioner for you using the vortech part number. I did, it wasnt was a reasonable price w.o the hassle of finding one elsewhere.
