Ok so i just finished putting everything back together, but now i have a new problem. When i connected the negative terminal on the battery, i'm getting no power to the car whatsoever. I mean none. The instrument cluster doesn't work, the dome light doesn't work, no spark, no crank, no nothing. SO i figure i must have messed up a ground cable or a power cable somewhere.
It's a brand new battery so that's out of the question.
I've rechecked and reconnected the starter wires and the alternator wires (plus i didn't disconnect the starter wire, only the plug so that i could remove the harness)
I've connected all of the connectors on the wire harness to their respective sensors.
I grounded the brown/white cables that run next to the starter onto the intake manifold.
The battery is grounded.

SO my question is, where should i start looking because i've checked everything i can think of. It's just kind of bizzare to me that i'm not getting any juice.

Help would be appreciated, and quick. I'm leaving tonight for school :1zhelp:

ok i fixed it and i realized what i did wrong:
When i reinstalled the alternator, i didn't replace the rubber washer under the "hot" bolt, so when i reattached the battery it immediatly blew the alternator fuse (100A in the fuse box). So, i grabbed a rubber washer, installed the alternator wire the correct way, and replaced the 100A fuse (Just as a side note, the fuses have to be popped out of the bottom of the box, and two 10mm philips head bolts need to be removed in order to get the 100A fuse out).

Plugged everything back in and car cranked up like a dream. NOW onto timing the biatch!
