      Electrical issue - 1st gen camaro - suggestions please

      I put the motor back in my 67 camaro and now I have no power to turn over - no lights, radio or anything -
      - i doubled checked power from ft to rear and everything is there and in the right place
      - battery is charged
      - motor is grounded to frame

      I need suggestions on what to look for - I'm sure it's something stupid and simple but I'm just not thinking about it

      I did remove the headlights up front during the project and have not put everything back in yet - could there be something there causing me not to have power to start the car??

      Tonight I'll start with assembling the lights but would love any suggestions on what I could've missed



      Thanks
      Don

      Don, is your horn relay connected? I 'm pretty sure you need it hooked up as it feeds voltage to the ignition switch.

      You meant horn relay, right?

      We have a WINNER! I tucked the feed wire into the fender when wiring up the relay for the new fans - forgot all about it until I started walking through with these suggestions.

      Thanks for the help guys!

      Crappy video but she's running now

      nice work....you don't wanna know how many camaros that came to the shop on a hook because of that. Usually after a battery or battery cable change.
