I can't putted on because than I have to modify a support again and I'm very limited in space that once and second the pulley didn't match so I'm gonna have a lot to modify again,and again I have not much space.But I got finaly running the alternator using only the big red wire from the battery.But now I have no tachometer running so my transmission doesn't shift right.When I rich 50 km/h I allready got all the gears and my engine of course can't pull very well.So anybody can help me with a diagram for the tachometer for my dodge(2003 Dodge grand caravan sport 3.8 liter)?Thank you!
