I swapped the battery around last night to change over to Negative Ground and swapped wires over on the coil. Turn the key on, no tick, tick. Oh Crap, Pull Starter button it spins over but no start, no Headlights, no dash lights almost like the battery is not connected but the starter spins over. I did swap battery cables around as well but if cables were the issue then starter would not spin over. Hmmm SU Fuel pump is supposed to work Positive or Negative Ground. Checked fuses but Headlights are not fused. I'm confused and I can't get off jackstands,
 
I must be missing the power wire off from the Battery at the solenois. That's got to be it. Time to look one more time. Yes that's it I need to swap the cables back as power for everything else is tied to the positive terminal. Dumb A_s Owner. Will fix tomorrow but in the mean time everything is back apart and disconnected.
