Default Cranks but no start

I have been having this issue for abit now and I have asked on here before. I can get the engine to crank but no start. I do not have spark at the plugs. I have new plugs, new wires, new cap, new rotor, new condenser, and new points set at .015". It's a 6 volt positive groumd on a 53 mercury with the flathead. I seem to loose power to the circuit breakers and fuses as soon as I hook the wire from the negative side of the start solenoid that runs through the ammeter to the 30 amp circuit breaker. If I unhool it I get my power to the ignition switch back. That wire needs to be hooked up in order for the car to crank though. Thanks for the help, it is my first time dealing with a system like this and have had it explained to me, I just still get confused because wiring is by no means my strong suit
