77' has no electrical power ?
I parked it about two weeks ago with everything working. Put it on the tender. now it has no power at all. the battery reads 12.65. I have no power at any fuse, or the alternator. I put a ground from the frame to the block. I wiggled the wires on the fire wall to the fuse panel. I tried to put it into other gears, it is an auto. Any other tips or advice before i start digging further into it. I did replace the ignition in the column about 6 years ago. Thanks for any advice.

Have a look at the fusible link going to the starter !
Had that happen to my 77 !
I had stopped working on it for about a week and a half and when I tried to start it there was nothing!
Turns out that "bubba " had cut the wire at some point and didn't crimp the but connector right and it was loose enough that it wasn't making any connection !
Simple fix and all has been good there since !
Good luck !

You need to have a multimeter to follow the source. Check obvious first and clean the ground connection from the battery to frame under box. Then check for voltage at positive cable at battery then starter. Like mentioned then there are fusible links at starter and horn relay.
