Re: Need help quick
Sounds like it might be a bad ground. Can you look at the voltage gauge while trying to crank? If it comes up, then goes all the way to the left while cranking, is usally the sign of a bad ground.

Re: Need help quick
I don't think you shorted anything out unless you left your battery hooked up when you took it out. I am pretty sure its not getting a good connection that would cause you to have no power I believe!

Re: Need help quick
yea i feel pretty stupid but I forgot to unhook the battery when I took it off. And I think that caused problems. Where should I begin to look.

Re: Need help quick
Do you have working headlights, horn, etc.?
Do you have a voltmeter? Did you hook up the solenoid wrong? Measure the voltage at the solenoid to ground where the purple wire connects. I'm not certain its purple on a 73+ but the wire from the ignition switch. Is the above wire on the S terminal of the solenoid? |

The fusible links were down by the starter on early models (pre-HEI) & then IIRC they were moved up to the firewall on the post HEI trucks.

Re: Need help quick
Ok, I finally realized I didn't have the positive battery cable hooked up, but I did get all the wires cleaned and straitened up and put up neatly. Thanks for the help.
