sounds right another way is to push idler out if you have a porta power brace back to support roller bracket that works better

JIM S

remove grease fitting wedge a block on sprocket rotate in reverse to move idler back then unbolt adjuster pull idler ahead and adjuster can be removed

Would just go through your john dealer there prices are decent I find there prices are cheaper on filters than auto parts stores and you are getting OEM.

I also have a 350 1966

try Lavoy the moderator of this site

you most likely have a wear sleeve spedi sleeve on your crank pulley they are replaceable heat the sleeve that will expand it and replace available
at some auto stores or motion industries

while your at that stage check your steel lines that go down the frame for the trans filter have a knack for leakage !!

JIM

I find that the filters from the dealer are cheaper than most auto parts stores so I use them all of the time !!

JIM

could possibly be a add on filter years ago I had some canister filters that used rolls of toilet paper did a good of keeping the oil clean you will have to open it up and see what is inside.
