And what did I find?

Someone had used a later tensioner arm with a later, but not late enough, shoulder bolt. Took me a moment to realize that no nylon bushing would take up the gap. Luckily, I had a correct idler arm and bolt in a box on a shelf.

Started and runs!

I've got a pile of new and used spares and a plan for a few years has been to catalog them. Actually might get to it.
