That tensioner is not sufficient for driving later style hpfp and the chain tends to stretch really quick and come off. I’ve also heard that the newer style tensioner can’t be mounted to the early style block.
saw the same only issue is that if i simply change the front face of pump attaching to the hpfp then theoretically it should work just wanted to see if anyone knows or has heard if possible
