No click, no crank, no nothing

I have a 1982 Camaro Z28. Recently put headers on it and a new distributor. Car was running great for about two weeks, took it for a drive after replacing the distributor and it randomly died on me. Doesn't click, or crank. No gauges move or anything. All the lights work. Checked my wires and found nothing out of the ordinary. Grounds all look okay, everything's tight. SO i need some ideas on why it would be doing this? I tried reading a schematic but it really doesn't tell me anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Cameron

Check engine lights? I'm not the smartest guy on here but if there are attempt the paperclip trick. Could be a vats error. Mine busted when I changed my starter before. Simple fix once you read up on it. And by simple I mean 5mins and 2 dollars

Re: No click, no crank, no nothing

Double check the wires at your starter. May want to take some sandpaper and scuff them a little to make sure they're getting a good connection. Also make sure they're not too close to the header and that the fusible links are good. I chased wires for about an hour one time trying to find why my car wouldn't crank after putting it back together and it was some corrosion on the connector going from the battery to the starter.
