Also the car has a six volt alternator and I was wondering how much play should be in the fan belt - thanks

Well I pulled it apart to day to find the metal retainer seal on the water pump shaft had popped out that is why I had so much end play. I pounded it back in but I will also install the collar as well. I thought I saw the recommended spacing some place here but can't find it - was it .006 of end play in the shaft once collar is installed?
Funny thing someone mounted a collar on the other side that seem to do nothing.
