First, I would inspect ALL of the wiring that you touched, or may have disturbed while replacing the alternator. Next, basic troubleshooting: Fuel. Air. Spark.
Thanks for the response 78F350.
I thankfully only had to replace the pulley on the alternator so I didn’t have to take the alternator out. I had the same thought about any cables I might of disconnected on accident however there’s no cables or connections near the alternator or pulleys. Does anyone know if I might of overlooked any connections that would cause my car not to start?

Also am I safe to assume that the car would still turn on if the alternator is bad?(with a battery that is charged)
