Yep, no time to wait, got places to go & people to see. Found it at local auto parts, it's a Mazda Miata timing idler that is used. Hard part is finding just the one idler, most places have the timing set that includes the tensioner.

Up & running once again.

Right on. I work for a small software company that has an automated lockout-tagout program and was just up there last week working with a few facilities in Cambridge and Lexington.

First time in the area and had lots of fun around the city.

103 degree plus weather all week and drove all week with no A/C. I love my car but it was like a blow torch. It felt like I was getting sand blasted but I looked good.

Dang I need to get this A/C fixed.
