HELP! Absolutely Nothing Works

OK!! I have a 1987 Z28 Camaro 5.0 tpi

I was just changing the ground to my stereo, due to it being hooked into the wrong wire, and I decided to fix my Hvac selector, which I did, I hooked it all back up went to start my car it just started to turn over and then NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING works, headlights, no int lights, NOTHING!. So I checked the fusible link by the battery, its good (are there any others that would cause this?) so I checked all the fuses, all good, so I changed the breakers, and the car fired right up no problem.

Problem solved right? NOPE, I went to turn it over again and then NOTHING again, and I don't have any extra 35 amp breakers.

the car dose not fail until I try to start it. It can sit in the on position without it dieing.

what on earth would cause this! im really starting to get tired of this. Is there anyone whom can help me?

There is another fusible link at the starter. I killed one in my brother's monte and NOTHING worked. no lights, no starter, no battery voltage reading off of the gauge.
