What bolts do I loosen to tighten the power sterring belt on my 1981 buick reveria

IF you have a serpentine belt it's not a matter of adjusting the power steering belt tension because it's done automatically with a serpentine belt tensioner.
OTOH, if you have a separate V-belt you'll need to loosen the mounting bolt/nut at the bottom of the steering pump and the adjustment bracket then tighten the belt by moving the adjustment nut to tighten the belt.
You might be able to google a video of your particular engine power steering belt adjustment.

How do you change the belt

BELT ADJUSTMENT
MANUAL BELT TENSIONER
Loosen rear mounting bolts of idler pulley or power steering pump (if equipped). Loosen power steering pivot
bolt and lock nut (if equipped). Turn adjusting bolt to tighten belt to specification. See BELT ADJUSTMENT
SPECIFICATIONS
table. Tighten bolts and lock nut to 20 ft. lbs. (27 N.m). For serpentine belt routing, see
For the routing just draw a picture befor romoving the belt. There are 4 different routings and I don't have enough info for yours. Without the proper tool the adjustment spec won't do you any good so before you take off the old belt get a feel of how thight it is and try to match the new one. best thing to do it make it loose enough so it squals when turning the steering
wheel to the extream or stop then tighten the belt little at a time till it doesn't squeal then just go a little bit more. If the belt is too tight it will wear out bearings in water pump,Alt, pullys ect. If its too losse it will squeal and wear out the belt so take your time on the adjustment.

Need to know how to adjust serpentine belt, please show diagram. 6 cyl engine.

Really don't need a diagram. Loosen the slide bolts on the power steering pump. loosen or tighten the pump by turning the jack screw (long transverse bolt) under the pump. Once the belt is tightened up, lock down the slide bolts and you are finished.

Belt problem after replacing power steering pump and pully 98ram

If the tensioner can be moved by hand the lock down bolt is not doing its job. Try to tighten the bolt with the belt pulled tight and then release. If the belt loosens the bolt is not working as it should. Make sure theres a lock washer (split lock washer) between the bolt head and the post.
