OK WTF now it wont start

ok I did the DFIS thing but the simple one. OK It started right up but then my gauges went crazy. It said the alt was putting out 16v and oil pressure was like 200psi. I know this is not right so i unhooked it and put back in the original car. Car had a dead short. It was in that little group of wires right beside the coils that go to like the alt and stuff. So i fixed that and now its like its not getting spark. So what did i do wrong here.
