"Have issue, just removed engi

"Have issue, just removed engine and replaced seal in Trans, put back together and now have an issue with electrical. When I turn on any toggle switch on my dash, the tach and oil pressure gauge go all the way up and the item I turned on does not come on. when I turn the water pump on it only works very very slow. When I turn the key to on, all the battery items die out. Spen t 5 hours redoing the wires that I removed to take the engine out and cant seem to find the issue. Was fine before I started. Does anyone have clue or a wire diagram for a 1981 270 crusader?"
 
"check for the missing ground

"check for the missing ground wire....I'd be one or more in the vicinity of the "bell housing" didn't get connected. Should be one around the circuit breaker/slave solenoid and the main ground wire "underneath" at the housing/block interface.

I checked my diagram - unfortunately, it does NOT show the locations of the ground wires."
