Random Electrical Failure

It just started happening, I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden just lost all electrical power in the car I mean everyhting shut off. After messing around with the battery termanals I finally got power back but noticed the voltage was down while driving.
Ive replaced both pos and neg battery screw-in's checked and rechecked the starter wires were the battery wires go. Tightned down both grounds on the passenger side. Checked the ground on the head going to the chassis, and replaced the battery. What else can i check?

You've obviously angered the car gods in some fashion. Their wrath will be terrible.

You're not still using that negative battery cable that you tried to set of fire, are you?

You make it sounds like it was a forrest fire or something , it was just a little "flame". But even so, its been running good and charging fine for this long. I put my battery charger termanals on them and they read fine with no resistance.
