 I appreciate all of these responses and such good advice.

The issue with the early engine is that the ignition timing marks, by the crankshaft pulley, is a lovely piece cast with the crankshaft cover plate. The timing pointer sticks out and up in front of the tensioner, blocking its removal. I can't seem to shrink down a photo to a small enough file size to post.

BTW I have ordered the special wrench for the nut on the back of the tensioner.

Another issue is that my camshaft pulleys have been reversed...marked x-110 and I-115 on the intake, I-110 and X-115 on the exhaust. Right now I'm hoping that I didn't bend the valves trying to line up the 110 marks before I realized the pulleys were reversed.
