Default battery relocation problems

ok so I bought 0 gauge wire for the setup. I ran a + to a distrubution block to the front with an in-line breaker. when ever I give the distrabution block power by hooking up tthe battery it blows the main fuse on the shock tower.

I have 1 ground going to where the dounut usually bolts too and the other going to where the rear strut bolts to the chassis.

If I don t connect the wire that goes from the block to the fuse panel on the shock tower it doesnt blow the fuse.

I have it wired like my brothers car witch I did and he has no problems any help is great thanks

How big is your main ground wire?

Did you check to make sure the distribution block itself is not touching any metal? Sounds like there's a short somewhere.

Make sure your ground is as large as your power wire. Also, try to get a better ground than that, making a new ground somewhere that there is nothing is a good idea. Also, make sure to ground away the paint.
