No power?

I have a 1984 berlinetta and unplugged my digital dash. I must have blown a fusible link somewhere. I have no electrical power anywhere. Can anyone help me with a fusible lino location or know what blew?

You should be able to unplug your digital cluster and everything else in the car should still work perfectly fine. Pulling the cluster is not related to your loss of over-all power.

Re-check all battery connections too.

Re: No power?

What John said, with the exception that if you allowed battery to touch ground somewhere somehow while doing it, you could have popped a fusible link.

Those are at the battery, at the same terminal the main batt cable hooks to. They connect the entire rest of the car to the batt... kinda like the main circuit breaker in your house, except there's usually 2 of em, each feeding about half of the car.
