I put a new battery in my 74 charger and I can't seem to get any power to anything.  I checked and replaced all of the fuses and both cables.  it worked fine a couple of weeks ago with the old battery.  i got a new one for it cause the old battery was shot and i'm out of ideas.  Any thoughts?

check the "fusible link" that goes from the starter relay to the firewall block and make sure the connection in the block is good

Finally found the short in the wiring, it was the wire that the fusible link connects to, it had somehow come in contact with the exhaust manifolds and burnt throught the wiring.  Replace that wire, runs fine.
