Yes, BIG ones, as in large, not small

Have you LOOKED in the fusebox yet?

OK, from scratch: You HAVE put the alternator belt back?
Have you checked the plug at the rear of the alternator?

with the battery disconnected there should of been no spark, the battery is the powersource, the alternator ony produces current when the engines running
