If it only happens when you put in the different alternator then get it tested its probably got a short somewhere.

99.9% it's not the new alternator. let me get this staright, when you installed the new alternator, the car never started correct? you never had power, right?

did you re-connect the battery cables? how about the cables to the alternator?
have you checked fuses and relays under the hood?

 

yeah new alternator no start, put old one back in no start, all cables are good im about to check all the main fuses right now...where should i check for relays at

 

just checkd my fuses under my hood the 80amp fuse is blown......

 

that'll do it

 

fix the problem had to replace my power distro fuse, but now my battery light is on........
