no power issue...possible bad ground?

I've got an 87 camaro with a 2.8. this car was my project until I picked up my 91 bird and 84 TA. then it sat for almost 2 years. I started it a couple times a week to keep it moving but some issues arose and I let it go for almost 3 months. now I have no power...I hot wired it and the engine will crank but not turn. the fuel pump isn't priming either...I ran 12v right to an interior power wire in the engine bay and everything powers up...but still won't turn over...It seems like a bad ground to me...what do you guys think....

Check fuses. Maybe even pull them out and put them back in, one by one. Got spark?

check the fuel pump ground behind the right rear seat. If you want to find out if the pump is still good, apply 12 volts dc to pin "G" of the ALDL (POSITIVE) and the negatvie to a good ground.
