Its a 1990 5.0 , I was disconnecting my battery and when I was removing the negative post the opposite side of the wrench touched the positive post and a few sparks ..and now the car won't start I tried it with 2 batteries and it still doesn't want to start. I also have a sound system and the 100 fuse amp under the hood looks blown... what should I look for? thanks cafords.

What would it be if it cranks over? Just doesn't fire up?

I had a similar thing happen to me.
Check your fusable links in the wire harness, (going from memory) there are at least 5 of them.
