Didn't he say the problem started while he was driving? If so, the the starter relay is ouT of play on the problem.
Just sayin. GL!

Thank you 67Dart273, i will try that..but i do have a question. Will the starter relay have anything to do with not have anything electric operational? Before I pulled the battery, i pulled the headlight on,,,and they did not come on, no brake lights either when pressing the brake lights.
What about something called a "fusabale link"..that what other sites say may be the problem.. If that is bad, can it cause no power..and if so, where is it located so i can try replacing it.
A bad starter relay should not cause a total loss of power.
Will do..but your gonna have to wait till the weekend for an update, no time to go over there till then. Thanks all!Somehow I missed that.
There are very FEW things that can cause a total lack of power
Take a test lamp or multimeter
1--Make sure you have power at the big stud on the starter relay
2--Follow the wire which goes from that stud to the bulkhead (firewall) connector.
Probe that connection at the firewall connector. If no power-- the link is bad
3--If you have power there, go around to the interior, and probe that connection in the bulkhead connector to see if the connector has lost power Wiggle the connector
4--If you have power so far, post back
This MAD article has a simplified diagram which shoes the basic power feed circuit. Follow the path---
Battery---starter relay stud---fuse link---bulkhead connector -- ammeter --- out the ammeter on the black wire--to the in harness splice---branch off to the fuse panel and ignition switch

Well, i was not able to gt it started after messing with all the wires..but I did sell it, so its time to move on to something else. Thanks for all your help!
An interesting end to a thread. Sounds like an easy fix, and maybe a good deal, for the new owner.
