What else could I have shorted/fried/or other wise killed?
My Car (87' 305 TPI Auto) sat for a couple of years. I Got it running, but timing was a little off. While adjusting the distributor I shorted something. 
(I believe it was on the underside where the cap sits that I touched with the wrench.) Since then I got a brand new distributor, replaced the 3 fuseable links at the starter and new ign switch. My car still won't crank/turn over. I do have lights on the dash, the fans are hard wired & they come on when I turn the key on. What else is on the circut that I could have fried?
- I also checked the fuses in the fuse box - none needed replaced

Re: What else could I have shorted/fried/or other wise killed?
Tonight I verified I had power @ the starter. Then moved on to checking the Starter enable relay. I found it and was headed inside to check here for the "How-to" test & thought I give it a try, just for the * of it. It cranked & tried to turn over, I was ... I don't know what I was. Now I just need to find TDC/adjust timing and put my driver's seat back in.
