Problems

[yoshi]

After priming the oil pump I turned the key & only got a clicking sound. I checked the battery & it's ok so I tried again but just clicking. When I looked to the engine (sbc350) there was smoke rising, when I looked closer I found out that the earth lead that I put from engine to chassis had got so hot it melted the outer sleeving ? I've tried & tried to bleed the brakes but the pedal is still travelling too far, the front pads will grip the disc but the rears won't ? I've also discovered no volts at the fuel pump, ive checked the fuse that's ok ? Not a good day
