Have I messed something up then?
I just asked the question about the battery cable. Before I got the answer, I had it connected this way. I had the negative cable connected to the batter tray/fender and then to the starter silenoid, the positive cable is also connected to the silenoid. It sparked when I connected it. Now, I changed it and have it connected the suggested way. I tried to start it but the starter just clicked. I tried to jump it but the starter just clicked. Could I have shorted something out when I made the wrong connection? Keep in mind that the car hasn't been started in about 3 months because I took everything off the engine in order to paint it, now it is put back together. I hope it is battery related. Any input? Thanks

so you had both the neg ans pos. connected at the same spot.
Yup............
........you "toasted" the contacts in the solenoid by running full battery current through them.
Time to replace...........
BTW - POS cable goes to empty large solenoid connection.
NEG cable goes to engine ground, as stated earlier.
