I just want to point out, that foil is intended as a line-of-sight barrier to radiated heat, so it's placement on top of the manifold doesn't make sense. So if it were protecting something from the header that would be useful.

Edit - like Rotornut's bay:

The oil and water are powered from the switchable radio power, since I no longer have a radio.
Damn, back to square one....once I pull the seat so I can get down to see which fuse blew. Frickity Frackity F#$*! Inline fuses are going in this time around as well.....

So Leather.....what ignition power source are you jumping from for your water gauge?
damn that blows. make sure your ground is not shorting everything else out.
I can take a pic for you tomorrow but i dont think thatll help. If you have a volt meter, tap ignition wires with the no key in. the one that reads is the ground thats live all the time. now start the car, tap the two to other wires. the one thats dead is the one that only controls startup. the other wire thats live with the engine on is the one to tap into.

Cool...thanks. This setup has been fine for over a year this way....just wanted to drop the wire gauge on H2O to get a better reading. Now this. When I get the fuse replaced I will check grounds with voltmeter before proceeding. Lesson learned..... HA!
