Wiring a 74 question...

[74BiGfOoTbUg]

I bought a 74 standard with homemade wiringthat was a disaster. My family bought me a universal wiring kit for my birthday and started installing it. I got what i thought was enough to get the car started this weekend and as soon as i hit the key to start position it blows the main fuse. Any suggestions on where to start for maybe a ground they didn’t have installed?

If you are using the Bentley wiring diagram you have to flip it upside down when looking at the back of the dash and fuse panel wires from the front trunk.

I used old wires, but started with nothing connected. I left out all of the turn signals, headlights, and brake lights. Just worked on the main stuff so I didn't get confused.
