Here's a link to some before and after photos and maybe you guys can help spot the problem.

In the before picture you see the red 10 gauge wires attached to the B terminal of the voltage regulator. Per the instructions, I removed the regulator and connected these wires to the 10/32 stud on the back of my alternator with a 10 gauge wire.

In the first after burned wire pic you see that I attached those wires to the firewall. Did this ground the circuit? See how the wire to the ammeter fried. Also to the left, see the wire that runs to my starter also fried. In the other "after" pic, you see where that wire attaches to the starter.

Thanks again for any help you can provide. Obviously, I'm a dunce and am paying the price...
