Dennis,
Electrical gremlins....If you are getting 14v with the motor
running then the alt must be charging. After leaving it overnight..
then the car doesn't start in the morning? Somewhere the power is
being used up. Take a look at all the wires you touched during the
install. Try to figure out what is soaking your juice.
Good luck...and post the fix when you find it...
