Question following a STUPID mistake

[pagrunt]

Fried solenoid on the starter? Might even want to see if the switch & plugs on the column have any signs of the back feed (i.e. burnt/melted parts.) The next two areas to check

Sounds like you fvcked it up good!
Seriously though, I've seen many sparky events end better...Could be anything, don't know how to help over the internet.

Try a new ignition switch, they are usually about $15

And, the bulkhead connector..... Some food for thought, though: the open should be between the power source (battery) and the fault (starter). Just for shirts and giggles, check the battery cable for continuity and resistance,

Ok I've installed a new battery and ignition switch, new fusable links going to the starter. Have juice going to everything. But still nothing!

 

[pontiacgp]

when you turn the key to start do you have power on the purple wire (S) at the solenoid?

 

[Doug Chahoy]

I'll check that as soon as I get a helper.

 

[pontiacgp]

have you put it neutral to try to start the car?

Neutral switch lining up right? Just a spaghetti toss on the wall here.
