I really need some help on a b16 lsv swap. Currently no power whatsoever

So the long story is I was driving down the highway when I noticed the mph gauge wasn’t working then the rpm went so I got off the high way maybe like a minute after the car wanted to stall which it did after fighting with it. Jump start it mechanic was close they told me something kept blowing the fuse for the alternator under the dash. Anyway the car started drive it for like a hour and it died again. Slowly I saw it coming I kept gasing trying to keep alive. Wouldn’t help I kept kick starting it until I got home. O yea jump starting help a lot it stayed alive for like 40 seconds of driving. Then stalled. Friends was telling me main relay tried that didn’t work. I got a new alternator not remanufactured and I messed up I didn’t take the power off the battery and it sparked while changing the alternator I immediately took the power off the battery and I noticed a blown 80amp batty fuse changed it. Now NOTHING NO LIGHT ON DASH OR HEAD LIGHT NO POWER WHATSOEVER NO KEY SIGNAL NOTHING. before I did that spark to the alternator the old was lighting up the dash jus wasn’t bright and the battery light was missing. Help me please if you can.

Doubt you'll get any help here since you're asking about a HONDUH engine. It's also very difficult to follow your unstructured paragraph.

If you break it down to cogent statement will very much help. Separate paragraphs, maybe make it a bullet point timeline.

Is it even in a 3rd gen f-body?

ok my current issue is no power whatsoever no crank no clicks no dashboard lights. I was changing my alternator and like dumb *** I didn’t take the battery apart. It sparked and blew the 80 amp battery fuse. Replaced it but I’m stuck still no power. Did a few circuit testes but it got me nowhere

Sounds like you need help from Honduh people.

This forum is devoted exclusively to 82-92 Camaro & Firebird.

Good luck with your ... other thing.
