Lisle or OTC (or both) make one, that can be bought through Oreilly's. Can't remember the number but I've seen it in the tool catalog at work (KD Tools maybe).

Another dumb question, does the timing belt jump around when it's tensioned with the 90° trick? I did it last night and it was hoping around an awful lot for my liking.
The colder the ambient temp is outside the looser the belt will be. It will tighten up some as the engine gets up to operating temp. Like you mentioned earlier about the chirp that went away after running a bit. A new belt will stretch as little though. Should stabilize after a half hour or so of run time. If your belt is still walking around, some thing is wrong. Aux. shaft bearings shot, bent pulley(s), wrong tensioner, wrong tension on belt, debris in cogs, head warped badly, bad crank walk due to excessive thrust bearing clearance, etc.

Also something to keep in mind with the factory sintered iron sprockets there not by any means the most accurately manufactured. some run out, wobble and out of concentricness will always be present and that will affect how the belt rides. A correctly tensioned belt should of course center itself on the sprockets but some minor side-side movement while its running will always be present.
