Default Header installation nearly complete / electrical problem?

I spent about 4-hours today removing the old manifolds, and installing the Dynomax headers. The headers are now in place, and I only need to connect the collectors to my pipes to be finished with them. :party:

In addition, tomorrow I have to re-install the starter, AC compressor, dipstick, plug wires, and spark plugs.

I connected the battery just long enough so that I could roll the power windows up for the night. But, the only thing that has power when I connect the battery is the radio. The gauges don't function, lights, etc.

Did I screw something up? Does the starter have anything to do with it?
I didn't hear or see any sparks, smoke, or anything else unusual. What should I check?

Thanks for any comments or suggestion :cheers:

go hook your starter up,the main power feed goes to the big post on the starter and the battery cable feeds that.thats whay your not getting any power into the car.
