Need Help with wiring gremlins!

[84ttype]

It all started when I was driving home the other day at 35MPH and for a split second lost power to everything, my tach, boost gauge, radio and heater all went off, after the car "coughed" my radio and headlights stopped working and my power antenea is stuck up right now. The only place I knew where to start was the fuse box and none of the fuses are blown. (which I also noticed that some of the accessories are running higher amp fuses then is suggested on the wiring diagram) wiether that is part of the problem or not I'm stuck as of right now and need help ASAP! Thanks in advance.

The Big Ground

There is a ground in the back of the Pass cylinder head this goes to a alot of the engine drivability stuff. It is a PITA to get to but it can be done. There is also one on the firewall. The one on the pass fender too, mainly lighting stuff.

Also make sure the battery ground and cable are OK, check the battery terminals as well.

Try to give everything a good cleaning/sanding/wirebrushing to make sure they have good contact. That's where I'd start

report back what you find.

Check the fusible links; they are connected to the starter solenoid along with the positive wire from the battery.
