NEED some help here PLEASE!

[Coyote Jack]

Sorry about the double post, I posted this in the general off topic area by mistake.

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!!!!!

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

make sure to tape em up Good.

Add on..

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.

That might be the problem. The ammeter is not hooked up. The first thing to check!

That was the problem. I went out to the garage for 5 minutes today. Hooked up the ammeter and bingo. Power at the key and fire at the plugs. Now if I can just shake this flu for good, I'll take care of the other problem.

Thanks Guy's

For a change we havn't had much of a winter here this year. Only one big storm, 18 inch's and it was gone in 4 days and not very cold by our standards. Right now it is above freezing and only 2 inches of snow on the ground.
I'll be back in the game soon. I HOPE!
