Two connections? Sort of, one fat white wire and one connector with 4
wires, but that is probably what you meant.

It is hard to botch an alternator installation to a point where you
can't even jump start the car, so I believe your problem is elsewhere.
Someone suggested the 80A fuse in the under-hood fuse box. Also check
that the battery ground cable is good and has firm connections both to
the battery and to the chassis. Same check on the fat wire between the
battery and the under-hood fuse box, is the wire good? firm connections
in both ends?
