Default New Alternator, Car won't start, voltage maxed.
Any ideas? Put a brand new tested alternator in and the car won't start and the voltage gauge is maxed out. New pigtail and new wiring as well.

The voltage reads ma when you turn the key but before you actually crank the car?

You have a battery problem......alternators don't start engines. You don't even need to have an alternator in the car and it will start from the battery.
