Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 88 Ranger that quit yesterday, the voltage regulator was over
charging my battery and fried it. so i put a new battery in it along with a new
alternator which has the internal regulator and it ran for a minute. the only
way it will start now is i have to push start it

you'll have to see if the starter gets power when you hit the key , it ran for a minute and just died ? could be unrelated
