Your pulley system that controls the motion of the belt and the tighness will either consist of 4 or five pulleys, with the Alt, being of course at the top. the very bottom pulley that likey can only be reached from under th car, should be your compressor pulley, the one in the middle, between the alt. and the compressor, should be your water pump with its pulley. Using the process of elimination, you can find out that there will be a pulley left, this is the belt tensioner pulley. It has a bolt in the center of it, it may be either 5/8 or 15 mm. This can be fitted with a wrench, or if you are lucky, a ratchet, and then turned as if you were loosening it, you will see the alt , pull up and it will be tightened this way, you may also want to apply some belt dressing. if this doesn't help , the belt may be squealing for another reason, such as the water pumb may be getting ready to go out or the compressor pulley may be getting loose.

How do you tighten alternator belt on 1992 Dodge Spirit 2.5 so that does not screech there is no tensioner?
There is a bolt on the lower bracket for the Alternator but that doesnt mean its whats causing the belt to screech... It could be dirt, a worn belt or a worn pulley. Take some greese, vasaline or anything like that, put it on the belt itself or if you wish the pulley and see if that helps, it worked great for my spirit cause i didnt want to replace belt even tho it is a good idea to replace the belt.
