Starter help

[drewbert41]

I finally went to hook my battery back up today after pulling my starter and installing a heat shield a few months back. When I went to hook up the post I got a big spark and the starter clicked. I suspect that this is a wiring issue?

Pulling the starter was a pain with the headers on so I made sure to take pictures and triple check the wiring. There was a rusty old battery post underneath the existing wiring so I removed that while I had it off. So it should actually work better than before.

Since I am almost certain it is hooked up right could this be something as simple as a wire touching something it shouldn't be? I tried to ziptie the wires and keep them off of the shield and headers when I put it back on.

Please help, thanks.

P.S. it worked fine before I pulled the starter.
