Stop in for a cup of coffee

I guess I didn’t post it, I thought I did.

wires completely toast:
Alternator all the way back to the firewall
Horns all the way to the horn relay.
the ammeter wire all the way to the bulk head.
The ammeter wires under the dash(I’m guessing when the fire happened, it grounded something and juiced it?)
Headlight harness on passenger side.
Coil positive wire.
Water temperature wire
Oil temp wire
The blue wires on the ballast resistor mounted on the firewall
Voltage regulator itself melted.

not counting the rest of the damage:
Fuel pump,
Alternator
Plug wires
Upper radiator hose
Belt.
Washer bottle
Horns
Valve covers
fuel lines
Thats a start.
There is no ammeter wire in the engine compartment.
It can't all be equally damaged. There probably are clues to what began it, how it spread etc.
I don't want to fill morning coffee with post portum analysis.
