Default Trying to connect battery and sparks coming off of it.

Alright i just recently change the clutch on my D15b8 (i know stock right) well since i had to disconnect wiring to get the tranny cover off i think i connected some cables back in the wrong place. Can anyone tell me where the cable that is directly connected to the Positive side of the battery goes

It goes to the fuse box, the starter and the alternator. If it's going anywhere else, you've done something wrong. Be very careful, man. The electricity won't hurt you, but if you short the battery the lead terminals can melt and explode (it's happened to me) and that ****'s not fun.

Yes, the main harness is connected to the starter and to the fuse box.
