Thumbs down Z wont start,guages are stuck,fuel/waterpump wont come on when key turned! HELP!

Well Its saturday morn. I go out to the trusty Z28 and put the key in and try to turn the car on. Guess what nothing. The guages are stuck(They all arent on the bottom, thermostat a little higher than 160 and oil a little higher than the lowest line) and I cant even hear my electric waterpump or new 255lph fuel pump turn on when i press the key all the way back.By the way it isnt the battery because my stereo and windows even the power doorlocks work. I even just came back from gay *** local parts store and I brought a coil just for the hell of it tried it and no go (which is what i figured) My only guess now is the key tumbler or the ignition control module. Im so pissed off! My Mustang is all apart and the motor is at the machine shop so i cant even drive that. Please help! Im trying to get ahold of my mechanic but cant and he lives 1hr away so im pretty much f*cked. Thanks alot CZ28.com

If you get no lights at all on the dash, it might be the ignition switch or a connection to it.

Thanks for the reply. Im gonna have to go to a Chevy dealer to get this. The local parts shops will take 3-5 to get it. I hope it really is the ignition switch cause i need my Z!
