Default electrical failure, 1979 Corvette

I seem to have lost all power to my horn, dash lights, instruments, heater blower, courtesy lights, etc. I've checked all the fuses and they are good. The only other thing I can think of is the 30 amp Power Assy Circuit Breaker. Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, what did you do to fixit?

Thanks

Doug

check the fusible links at the starter. it supplies power to the fuse box.
there is also multiple wire black connector by the a/c box just above the trans dipstick tube. check it for corrosion. has some red wires (+).
