Hey guys, just picked up an 84 last night. Buckle up for some stupid questions and please go easy on me.
The original owner passed away. Its a 5.0 swap and also a Manual to Auto swap. The steering column is Toast. The original owner died while in possession of the keys so his son in law drilled out the ignition lock cylinder and screwed up the housing. I hooked up a battery to it from my 4.6 GT (so I know its a good battery) and im getting no power what so ever to the car from the battery. Meter on the battery reads 12V, Battery to a stud on the car reads 6V. Please forgive my ignorance in all of this but where do I start? Id assume with the battery connected id at least get a buzz in the car and some lights on. would the column being messed up cause me to have no power at all? Should I check the ground? I looked in the fuse box on the left side of the steering wheel and I didnt see anything blown. is there another set of fuses somewhere besides that? I appreciate the help.
