It sounds like the engine is spinning it just doesn't start.  Is this
correct?

If there are also other wires on the plosive clamp assembly make sure
they are all still connected and have a good connection. Unfortunately
the cable most likely came off when you were last driving the car.
The alternator can go kind of nuts when there is no battery connected
and it is possible that you have other damage now. Hopefully it is
limited to a fusible link or two.

If someone put this battery in for you I would be on the phone
tomorrow morning raising kane!  No sense in that kind of shoddy work.
