How many hot wires going to fuse block

[Mike70gtx]

I've got no power to my starter after rebuild. I also have no door locks or ign spots on fuse block . I'm in the process of tracing things. I've taken off the block that goes to the fire wall to the fuse block. There is only one of the pins going into the firewall that is hot. Is that right.?

I've got dome lights, headlights, ding-ding-sound with key in and door open. Is there a purple wire I need to trace for power? Could it be my ignition switch. The car ran before rebuild, but has sat over a year. So I'm READY to fire up this thing. HELP!

Check the fusable links down by the starter

I do have power coming from the started; all three fusable links are good. I found power at the drivers fender, the two relays that are somewhat together had three red wires and all have power. There is one other relay that has a red wire going in that is hot, but the red coming out is not. There is no power going to the ignition switch. Any ideas where I check next.

Mike, I know I'm late on this reply, but did you find your problem. I just had the same exact problem and there was an open behind my fuse block. I think it was the splice in the service manual called S200. It gets power from fusible link "A" and then distributes it to the fuse block, horn, and a few other things I can't remember. Any way, I had headlights and interior dome lights, but not much else, including a dead ignition switch. I disco'd the fuse block from the firewall and as soon as I pulled it back, all the lights and bells fired up. Let me know what you found and if it was an open wire behind your fuse block, how'd you fix it?
Thanks, Mike.

The problem on mine was the wires coming from the starter. Someone cut out the fusablle link and had a piece of black wire on it. I thought it was a ground and had it grounded. My rebuild took over a year so not only did I forget, but the sharpie that I wrote on the duct tape to mark things, faded off. Thanks for checking and good luck.
