Loose Belt

Ok i must be a complete moron, but i cannot find where i tighten my belt up at. lol i know, i know NOOB.
I know the car did not squeek before X owner put a new belt on it. Well its loose, Help please.
420a non turbo
Thanks guys

which belt. The alterator belt? Cuz that would make a difference.

Its only got 1 belt, serpintine, or drivebelt, people call it diffrent names
 

not tryin' to be stupid but you sure there's only one belt for that? there should be one for the powersteering pump and one for the ac and alternator, i believe

Yeah you should have two.

Ok maybe there is two, i can only see one. Its the only belt i can see when i pop the hood, its squeeling, and when i turn the wheel all the way to the left or right it screams!

i haven't worked on a 420a engine in a while but i believe that would be you're ps one?!?! can u post a pic of it? or can u tell if it's at least going around the ac or ps or alternator? if you just figure out one i can tell you

This belt

that one goes around the powersteering and alternator

lol ok, well how do i tighten it?

there should be something bolted to either the p/s or a/c unti that has 2 screws that are formed like a T. i'm not sure where it is, i'm tryin' to find my haynes manual right now,lol

Directly under the power steering pump, there is an idler/tension pulley. It has a bolt on the side to loosen and let the other one slide. The one that sticks out to the front of the engine bay is the one to tighten the belt.
 
 If the pulley has been deleted from going bad, there are two bolts on the left side of the pump that you can get to through the pulley and one on the backside and the pump can be adjusted also.
 
The radiator overflow tank will need to be removed for access either way
