88 Town Car 302 - First my alternator belt was squealing for a few seconds on the first cold start of the day, so I tightened it up slightly, and now the squeal is gone, but at idle there is now a whining noise. This may be a stupid question, but how do you know how tight to adjust the alternator belt? I did not tighten it that much at all .. thanks!

I make it tight enough that it doesn't make annoying shreiking sounds, however tight that ends up being.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
