Default Car won't start

My 82 all of a sudden won't start. It's an electrical problem. My fuel pump has been relocated under the hood and has a switch to turn it on. I don't know why the previous owner did that. I can turn on the fuel pump but when I go to start the car there's a pop or a click in the back around where the battery is and then everything electrical is dead. I can do it again after a while but I get the same results. My battery is fully charged. I just got it charged and measured it. Thanks for any help

It's probably either the battery connections attaching to the battery or the main ground cable attaching to the frame. Most likely you should firstly clean the battery contacts.
