Electrical Issues

Hey guys,
I have a 1980 7 and I was having some difficulties with it this morning, and still am. This morning I started up my car everything was good, drove it into shop class to install a new shifter boot. I also went in and tightened down my alternator, the belt was a bit loose. As i was tighting it down I accidently touched the alternator with the wrench and it let off a little spark/pop. I got in the car the lights were flipped up, nothing works electricaly except for the headlights(they dont flip down though). The battery is full, checked all the fuses, im thinking it could be the fusable links. Any feedback would be highly appreciated because i left the car at school im going in to fix it tommorow i would like to know what else to look for just incase its not the links. Thanks a bunch help is highly appreciated!
Heres a pic before the winter weather Wisconsin sucks

Check the middle fusible link, that's the main, the other 2 are for the headlights.

yea, its most likely gonna be the main fuseable link. Not sure what kind of time/experience you have but this would be a good excuse for you to get rid of the fuseable link setup for a second gens fuse block. BTW your car is damn clean, I like it!
