84 Camaro won't start

When I turn the key car does nothing. It gets power to the the accessories but will not crank, click, nothing. Replaced the ignition switch, key cylinder, starter, battery, fusible links, nuetral safety switches, relay for shifter (B & M), alternator, and a new hot start relay.

Re: 84 Camaro won't start

Check for voltage to/from the starter switch?

Check the purple wire on the starter for voltage when the key is turned.

Also, you replaced the starter - did you get the starter wiring reconnected correctly? ALL wires including pos battery wire go on the larger terminal, ONLY the purple wire goes on the smaller terminal.

All wires are correct on relay. No voltage from wire at relay and at firewall before it enters vehicle.

Ok, connected purple and yellow wire at NSS and car fired up. Try to adjust NSS and see if that works.
