[DML] Electrical problem, please help...

["TalksToGod" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

I just got my car all back together and today I was ready to start it.
I tried to start it yesterday only my battery was junk. So I got a
brand new battery for it and installed it. When I turned the key, that
4 second or however long buzzing and clicking took place like usual I
hope you know which sound I'm talking about it comes from the relay
compartment I think. Also the idle motor was buzzing showing that it
was working- everything was working normally. Then I went to start the
car and the starter cranked for about 6 seconds and then suddenly
everything shut down. I disconnected/reconnected the battery and
everything came back on, but this time there was no buzzing from the
idle motor,and I can't get that period of buzzing again from the relay
compartment. I examined everything and here is what I found: Fuses
fine. My resistor wires were hooked up backwards/wrong. On the starter
I have 2 fat red wires also brown wires hooked up-the brown ones
crackle like a son of a gun when I move them-like its shorting out
kind of. There is a soft hum coming from the alternator unless I
unhook the fat cluster of wires running to the post on back. If I
unhook the wires from the back of the alternator my whole electrical
system is dead like the battery is unhooked, is this supposed to be?
Maybe I have some wiring in the wrong spots? The resistor is ice cold
even with the ignition on I believe it is supposed to get really hot.
I can still crank the engine but the fuel pump must be off since there
is no fuel smell, I poured some fuel in the engine and cranked it
doesn't come alive I forgot to check the spark I don't think there is
one though. I am running the stock resistor, the MSD coil and 8mm
wires. Someone please help, I was really looking forward to putting
the car
back on the road but I can't figure out what the problem is for the
life of me. Did I burn something out? Do you think I have something
hooked up wrong? Thanks for your past and future responses everyone.
