You don't need an alternator to start or drive a car.

Gee, Nate...thanks for your input...


Now let's really get to the business at hand here.


1. Pump it, crank it, and pull a plug. Do you see/smell fuel?


2. Do you even have spark at the plugs? All of them?


Check thoseand let me know what you find.


FWIW, swapping those motors with wiring, computers and all will be far above theskill level required to fix your Olds.
