84 Ford F250

UPDATE
update! I fixed and replaced the holly carb with a edelbrock 4 barrel but I don't know how to connect the kickdown and the acceleration cable to it! I have a picture click it make it bigger if need to!
Anything will help! I want it running so I can see how it drives!

Hey guys I'm having some troubles with my 84 ford f250. Today I turned it on 3 times with no problem since I have charged the battery but right after I turned it off. It won't turn at all not even a sound when I turn the key to turn it on. Nothing works at all lights,turn singles, and anything else. So I went under the truck and I noticed there is a ground wire just dangling there that was not there before. I can not seem were this ground came from before. Any help I can post pictures up if need to be.
