No Power

Guys
I just swapped in a 355 into my 87 bird. Battery is connected. Alternator is connected. Computer is connected. Why am I not getting any dash lights or anything when I put turn the ignition on? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am drawing a blank.

Re: No Power

Thanks. The red single wire and the red wire that is actually two in one connect with the battery wire. The purple goes to the solenoid?
