Starting issue

Ok I tried to find my answer ad I'm sure it is here but simply cant. My 65 barracuda slant six won't start. I was hooking up electric fans I wired the positive to my battery terminal strip and the ignition source for the fans to the top of the voltage regulator. Went to start the car to check the fans and no start.

The only thing I can think is I blew the voltage regulator but that just doesn't make sense to me.
