How do you adjust water pump belt for a 1986 ford tempo 2.3l?

To adjust the water pump belt on a 1986 Ford Tempo 2.3L, first, locate the tensioner pulley. Loosen the adjustment bolt on the tensioner, then adjust the position to achieve the proper tension on the belt—typically, there should be about a half-inch of deflection when you press down on the belt midway between the pulleys. Once the desired tension is achieved, tighten the adjustment bolt securely. Finally, check the alignment and tension again before closing up the engine compartment.
