Uh, I fried my car...HELP!

Ok, it's simple enough to install gauges right? WRONG!

With nothing to do on the Charger, I decided to install a set of gauges in an old Buick I own (tach, water temp, oil press). I tapped the radio for positive (wired lights into the positive so they are always on) and grounded everything to a clean metal surface under the hood. Went to turn on the car, everything seemed fine, tried to crank it and heard the starter click once and thats it. I then had no power to anything, used a mutimeter and had no volts at the battery (like .04 or something miniscule). Disconnected the battery, the battery had 12.5 volts.

What the hell happened? The only thing I might have screwed up would be wiring the tach to the coil, although I'm pretty sure I went to the negative side. I'm kinda scared to hook the battery backup, don't want to fry anything else or myself for that matter.

Also, sorry for posting a non related Charger/Mopar question here but the Buick board doesnt answer stuff as quickly.
