help with my 67!

Ok heres the problem, i went from a 327, to 468. My battery is connected, there is no power to anything period. I tried to turn the lights on nothing. turn signals, anything inside out side the car does not work. how ever i touched the started bolt with a screw driver and it started turning.
I chased these 3 wires around, i tried touch the battery with a light tester, it works . Then i tried testing other wires every where. Nothing. I cant figure out where the problem is, and i do not know where the hot wire is. Where can i find a diagram on 67 camaro wire schematics?

I would have to guess you have something not connected, most likely at the starter. If I remember, the hot feed comes off the starter on those cars. HTH.

If you've got nothing, then your positive battery cable isn't hooked up. It goes straight from the battery to the big post on your starter solenoid. Either it's not hooked up, it's bad, or you've got a dead battery.

He said he had power at the stater post. Check to be sure the smaller 10 guage power feed wire is connected. It will either be at the battery post or the starter post.
Also, be sure the body of the car is properly grounded to the battery, and the engine block.

Junction block

Don't forget about the ceramic junction block on the core support. The factory ran the power leads from the other accs. there and then fed power from the battery via one single power lead from the positive bat. terminal. If that is of no help I do own a wire diagram that I could scan in for you.

Ok i figured it out, there as a cut wire behind the battery , i had to run it to the + side and it works now. Now i have to figure out why its not turning over, i have the msd hooked up. And i have a few wires that i dont know what tio do with, time to go test them.
