Help! Battery problem
Ok so i just finished rebuilding and installing my engine, i had to get a new battery and when i went to put it on my lights and the starter came on. The battery terminals sparked too. Key is not in, which means car is not on. I did redo my wiring harnesses, both engine, and dash. I'v checked and double checked to see which wires where mixed up. I'm pretty sure its the ignition wiring for when you turn your key but im not sure which ones. Any help on this would be appericated. And yes i did look at the manual i just cant figure out what wires are switched.

you installed the battery backwards. Not much anyone can do for you.
