i had to replace my water pump on my 78 lincoln mark 5. it was going good until i had to remove a bracket holding the alternator a little. i put the bracket back the way it was but now the belt is all loose! it was not like that before. so how do i tighten it?

Loosen the two bolts going through the alternator. Move the alternator until the belt is tight then tighten up the bolts.
