Welcome to the forum!
Sorry about the problem with your car not starting.
You would probably get better information if you post this in the appropriate generation of Corvette you have. Guessing from your member info you may have a 1975 Vette. If that is the case your best bet is to place your question in https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...performance-3/. If you have a different generation please just go to the appropriate tech section. More information will help the members assist you, such as year of car, any other mods recently, have you checked the starter/starter solenoid, etc.
Best wishes and hopefully this is something simple and inexpensive!

When you say tried to replace radio did you? Is it working. If so you could disconnect ground and both powers and see if it will start. Could have blown a fusible link.When you tuen the key you should get 12 volts at the coil.

I actually took the radio back out to try and backtrack the issue but no luck. Right now it is all apart so the wiring is easily accessible. What do you mean “both powers” just curios what fusible link you mean? Thank you very much for the help I am literally ready to start putting my hair out.

Thanks for the feedback. Finally had time to work on this yesterday.
inspected and fixed questionable wires under the dash. Checked voltage at coil and did have 12 volts. Cleaned connections under distributer cap. Car started right up. Now on to the next project for the car. Thank you to all who sent suggestions. It has been a huge help. I am sure I will have more questions very soon.[QUOTE=henrikse;1598034240]Both I meant switched (ignition) and 12 volt at radio. You have a fusible link at the starter and at the horn relay. One also in middle of firewall by wiper motor, You could check you didn't pull your harmonica connector apart at the bottom of steering column (10 or 12 pin connector long) If you have a meter turn ignition to run and see if you have 12 volts at coil. I am away from home til Wednesday or I would send wiring diagram. It is a 65?
