well i thought i had the bugs worked out of this 91 lx 5.0, apparently not.

what happened was tonight after driving it for like 2 min(7 blocks) everything was going fine, listening to music, lights on, heater on, and all of a sudden, boom, lights off, stereo off, all power gone, turn key off, pull to side of road. smoking from underhood, neg. bat cable hot, no power at all, battery fried i believe, and who knows what else went wrong.

does anyone have any places to start looking??? going to head out and look with a flashlight, pull all the fuses and whatnot, but really im totally lost.

thanks for any help!
