Do you have the ground cable off of the engine?

I dont believe i do. I took off the alt. water pump a/c and power steering to get at the timming cover, as well the intake manifold to replace the gaskets. Is it posible that when I disconnected the wiring for the injectors on top of the intake it shuts down the power to the key. Oh is there some way to get the truck out of park so I can move it. There seems to be some kind of switch in the brake and i cant get it out of park without having the key on. Thanks for your input on this matter.

The wires have to be connected at the alternator before anything will work.

Just hook the big wires that came off of back of alternator together.
A 1\4 bolt and nut may be used to connect them but tape up so nothing shorts out.
