What do i need to make my AB 800 light?
I recently purchased an alien bee 800 strobe light and i have a nikon D90. I believe it came with a sync cord but it doesn't seem to plug into my cam & light? Is there an additional acessory needed for my light to sync with my cam? If so what? Thank you.

You can use a radio trigger and slave set up,
heres a clip on them:
you can get them on ebay et cetera
Be glad you can't use a PC cord. It is an awkward, difficult way to use studio lights. A remote trigger is the ONLY way to go. You can get one directly from Alien Bees, or spend lots of bucks on fancy triggers, or use this inexpensive trigger that works great… I know because I use it myself:
