I don?t have a wiring diagram handy, but from memory the first things I would check is the ground wire from the cylinder head to the neg battery cable, and the quick disconect on the lead wire from the pos battery terminal. I don?t know if there is a fuseable link after that beore it hits the power connecto at the firewall.

Try using a probing/piecing power tester to see where you stop getting power.

Amazingly, the problem was just corrosion on the battery terminal. A little scraping and everything worked great. Thanks anyway.
