So I re taped all of the harness and that was it. I now have no power in the car. The only hot wire I have is the one for the alternator, the amp gauge doesn't move it all. It's all the way to the left I'm thinking it went haywire. Does that amp meter control power to the dash, lights, turn signals and stuff like that?
 
The ammeter "all the way" is not good. Either you have a short, or the ammeter is stuck. You probably blew up the fuse link (Some later cars have more than one fuse link)

So some basics. WHAT ARE we workin on? Year make model?

Do you have the proper factory service manual?

If not, go to MyMopar and download one

While you are on that page, hit

"wiring electrical diagrams" and download one of the aftermarket diagrams posted. These are often not as complete as the service manual, but they are sometimes easier to follow
 
Since you didn't mention what model, year, or any specifics, I will go out on a limb and mention that ALL of the power goes through the amp guage on a Mopar that hasn't had the voltmeter conversion, so yes, all the power goes through that guage!!
