I have now power in my 1992 firebird

I have replaced the ignition switch, the alternator, and have a new battery, yet my car still does nothing there’s no lights, or sounds. I am lost and need help.

Check battery cables.

Quick check - bypass them with jumper cables.

Temporarily run a fused wire from battery positive to the batt terminal in fuse box.
that should backfeed some stuff to check and see if the fusible links are bad.
