I have a 65 mustang that is having ignition problems. I have added an electric fan with a painless harness, an electric fuel pump that i wired to the accesory fuse, a MSD 6al that i wired to the original coil wire, and i am running a late model mustang starter that eliminates the fender mounted starter solenoid. Now out of no where my car died on me in the middle of the road so i had it towed home, now i have no power except headlights, taillights, brakelights and dome lights. the blinkers dont work, the car wont turn over, fuel pump doesnt run. Any ideas of what i could have done. Is it possible that I burnt out the ignition switch. Thanks Nick

sounds like a fusable link, check to see if you have power in and out of the ignition switch

Hey I would check your fuse block and ignition switch... Did you fuse all your accesories? if you didn't that could have caused that to happen too...I knwo on my 65 wen I had it I fried my fuse block bec I didn't fuse my accesories but I was 16 and didin't know much so I knwo to fuse everythign now.....but yea check your ignition switch first then check out the fuse block.
