the alternator will not keep the car from starting.. all the alternator does is charge the battery once the car is running. Do you have 12volts or more at the battery? Have you checked the fuses in the fuseboxes under the hood?

I have an 89 and it wouldnt start. Turns out the engine control fuse was bad. Get a test light and test every fuse in the box. They should all be hot unless they are an accessory which must be turned on to be live.

Make sure you have spart at the plugs and that your ignition timing is right. Check that you didnt miss a vacumn hose or something when you reinstalled the engine.

PS going to WOT mean going to Wide Open Throttle. (press the gas peddle all the way to the floor)
