Sparked something in engine bay.

I was putting a spark plug in today while I was doing my header install. Stupid me didnt disconnect the battery this time. While tightining the spark plug there was a spark. After that nothing powered up when I turned the keys. My alarm light was blinking rapidly and my horn kept beeping at a slow pace lightly. I have the battery unpluged now but I havent pluged it back in since im in the middle of a header install. I was working on the #8 plug and I think I probably made contact with a starter wire. What did I mess up and how can I fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Someone said I may have blown a fusible link. Where would I find it/them and what do they look like?

The fusible links would be the small wires on the same terminal post as the large battery cable on the starter solenoid.
