This was your question that I answered.

Are you now saying that you have a jockey pulley that is non spring
loaded?

Mark,
J30 lists nothing in the way of a tensioner on the early cars. You
should get in touch with the JCNA tech line and order a copy of either
J30 printed 8-61 or better yet J30A.L.1 update printed 6-63.
