S52 swap sparking battery problem

[Jezza]

So I'm trying to get my swap running for the first time and I've got some issues when hooking up the battery. It sparks a lot and now it's totally dead. Take a look at the picture to see what happened to the post. I've searched and found that my voltage regulator may be the problem? I'm thinking I just hooked something up wrong though. The c101 to x20 connections are good, I've triple checked. Is there a diagram for the distribution block on the passenger side of the bay somewhere?

You have a massive short in the electrical system.

[Vtec?lol]

You can do this the redneck way or the rightway.
use a smaller amp battery and large fuse. hook it up and feel for which wire got hot. Trace it back to the short. Enjoy your electrical fire.

I had a ground that was not supposed to be near the distribution block, all is well now except I'm not getting fuel from the pump. It's working but I can't feel anything in the lines.

You have a hot wire on a ground post and are feeding it.

You know how electric heaters work?

What you mean "working" you have pressure in the rail?

Or it works if you feed it power?

Jeezus!

were you welding rust holes with that battery?

Pump was running backwards, switched the red and black and it works fine now.
