OMG What have I done?

I was changing the fan belt on my new (to me) 79 Spider which I figured was a piece of cake since the P/O had removed the smog pump when he installed euro headers. Wrong I was. I now don't seem to have power anywhere in the car - either switched or unswitched (e.g. ER flashers, horn). I figured I left something on or something and had run the battery down. That doesn't seem to be the case as jump starting didn't do the trick. The multimeter shows the right volts and amps at the battery (I know - it's not under load so that is not reliable but I thought I'd get something somewhere that only wanted a trickle). Have I shorted something out by moving the alternator to get the fan belt changed?

I'll learn someday to leave things to the smarter folks,

David
