No power to fuse block? I don't know what the problem is

It's a chevy camaro with a 305. I took the engine out to rebuild it and took many many picture. Now I hooked it all back together, the starter has power. So does the alternator, the other wires to the starter are correct. I tried starting it an notice-----no headlights, no brake lights. No start.
I pulled out my voltmeter and there is power to the starter and alternator and the circuit is complete, but I then check the fuse block and there is no power there.

Any have any advice or maybe a schematic?
Thanks

No Power This Hour

No doubt by now you have looked at the battery wire to the junction block and even cleaned the connections.

However you might have accidentally caused a temporary short when working on the car.

Using a voltmeter or test light
(the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe both sides of all the fusible links to make sure power is passing thru.

Fusible Links usually look like a one inch plastic rod in line with the wire.


Happy Racing!
