No electrical power

I am trying to resurrect my 1983 Trans Am Daytona T/A. It has been sitting a year. It was last started about 8 months ago. At that time, the engine kicked and the starter nose broke. I replaced the started a week ago and I am now getting no electrical power to the inside of the car. No headlights, nothing. I replaced the fusible links next to the starter and still nothing. I pulled apart the wiring bulkhead at the firewall (C-100 I think) and only have power to the top left terminal on the harness inside the engine compartment. Any ideas? I need to get this back on the road.

Re: No electrical power

Recheck and make sure all the wires are correctly and tightly installed on the starter?

Re: No electrical power

Look there, and also check the main battery cables, both the red one and the black one.
