Check your earths...

Earths seem fine but I will check them again tomorrow

does it crank?

[Fallen Angel]

Narr nothing at all

I agree with Matt, sounds like there is an earth problem.

Check the main fuses on the +ve battery terminal (if you have this setup).

It was a 4ac converted to a 4age so yer I will check earths tomorrow problem with that is it started before I changed the alternator to te proper side. Alternator was orignally on the extractor side with a custom bracket all I have done since it ran is extend the alternator wires to the intake side where the alternator sits now so I am not sure so not sure about earths as I haven't touched any since it ran??

Are you sure you didnt earth out any of the alternator wiring when you extended the loom? Shorting any of these wires would have blown fuses.

Unless of course you disconnected the battery before you started working on it.

Yer battery was not connected when I did it checked all the fuses there all fine so not sure ay

Put a jumper cable from the batt to the starter casing or even lift hook on the motor As a quick test
