No Power

I did a complete upgrade to the wiring on my 91 SE to include new alt, new yellow top battery, and zero gauge wiring to replace grounds to chassis and engine block and one additional from the alternator to the battery. The car ran like a dream machine last night with no problems I was amazed. This morning my key got stuck in the ignition, but I was able to release it using the red button. I have no lights on the dash, headlights, radio is not working or nothing to indicate some form of power. What is my best approach to diagnosing this problem.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your help. Never use marine terminals for your car. The coating on them kills your power. Sand them good if you do. The Max is purring with the 0 gauge wire on it.
