Sounds like you fried the fusible link, it runs from the solenoid to the bulkhead connection, parts stores carry them.

where is that at?

Under the hood, look at the wires that come off the start solenoid it goes back towards the firewall, it should have a plastic tag on in showing what gauge it is, 12 gauge if I remember correctly.
Don't get in a hurry when working with electrical on these old cars things fry really easy.
