HELP!!!!



Hello all,
Sorry to trouble you all again but by electrical problems
This again is on my ever loved '84 5KSQ 
have had a new addition no tach/seatbelt light/gas gauge/
OXS light/Battery light/Parking Brake light. Checked all fuses 
and found a burnt trace but fixed it and still nothing,
I had a ground the ground wire from the block to the coil 
mounting fall off, could this have fried something major,
if so what should I replace, Once i get the regular lights
to come on at ignition the alternator will work, or so I
have been told by several people. Should I replace the 
inst. cluster w/one I know is good to check?
PLEASE, I am really going nuts over this and I think
I'm going to have a nervouse breakdown. I haven't been
able to sleep right ever since this whole thing has started.

What else am I missing, a relay maybe?
Anyone else ever have similar problems?

Oh, by the way, the ground strap fell off while driving it and
I didn't realize it until it wouldn't start later. Could this 
have really messed up something bad??? The car was missing 
but I think this was do to low voltage because of no 
alternator charging.

Thank you ever so much fro any replies,
Rich Andrews
