Need a little help here please!

[Coyote Jack]

After battling the flu the last few days I got out to try and start the Demon for the first time.

Nothing but bad luck.
First, I can't get any power at the key. Nada, Nothing. I check the wires and everything looks good. I even tried the neutral safety switch on the tranny. There is lots of power, as I crossed the solonoid and the starter kicked in no problem. The entire dash is not in the car, but I didn't think I needed everything. All the main plugin connectors are together at the firewall and at the steering column.

Second, While I was tracing down wires, I notice a water leak at the point where the block,head and intake meet. This one I can fix, it is hopefully a dried out gasket.

Other than that, no leaks so far.

I could really use some suggestions on the electrical end though. I don't know anything about electrical other than to hook a red wire to a red wire and follow directions.

Help please!!!!!

You need a ground on the start relay, from when the trans is in neutral or park, or your foot is on the clutch, that might be the place to start.
Any one else have any sugestions.

ampmeter hooked up?
if not you need to put the 2 wires for the ampmeter together.

make sure to tape em up Good

Check these area's

And if your Ampmeter is hooked up, do you have 12Volts on the (+) terminal of the ampmeter which gets it's feed directly from your battery? Also check to ensure that "the" extra red wire at the (+) battery post is secure (this is the wire that runs straight to your ampmeter), however it should have a fusible Link on the run in your engine compartment.

Sorry guy's, this flu has my head screwed up pretty good. I posted here by mistake, then reposted in the Mopar General Forum.
