Check your fuzes. it sounds like you popped one. I'd start with your ignition fuze. Use a continuity meter

if you don't find that the fuse is blown try the switch. i had a 84 and
the hot wire to the starter was grounding out where the starter hot
wire and header / manifold came in contact somewhere by the
fire wall and the dip stick if that made any since if not check for burn marks
on the hot wire that runs from the battery to starter
when this happened headlights and most everything else would work
just would not start

If it's not started by now, it probably won't be. See post date.

I'll never be able to figure out why someone will dredge up a 9 month old post. The OP came back about 12 hours after his original post, and has not been back to the site since.
