I dropped the cresent wrench between the block and the manifold on the Passengers side. Nearest the cab. And it was like the 4th of july in there.

Everytime i tryed to move the cresent wrench to knock it off whatever it was stuck on mad sparks flew.

You tried to weld the wrench to the starter is what you did. Disconnect the negative battery lead and pry the wrench free. Damage...??? you will have to see, most likely only to youre head when you jumped back and hit it on the hood.
:p :p :p

you shorted the positive battery cable directly to ground. you're very fortunate the battery didnt blow up if it landed on the + terminal on the starter.
