I then ran a cable from the chassis to a mounting bolt on the alternator. The long one on the front pointing towards the ground.
Finally I ran a cable from the chassis to the negative battery terminal.

I went to reconnect the negative terminal on the battery and all I got were sparks and a crackling sound. The 250A fuse blew, along with the smaller stock 80A fuse.

I've rechecked the wiring. Made sure the chassis points are bare metal.

What am I doing wrong?
Can you post pictures of how everything is connected?
