Electrical issue
I was driving my 69and the engine died. The starter cranks and gets gas but won’t start. There is no power to half the fuse panel. Thought it was the ignition switch so replaced it. At the switch now there is power to the pink wire but none to either red wire. This is regardless of in accessory position or on position. There is power to the two wire connections in the middle of the fuse panel.
Any ideas?

Have you looked at the inside of the fuse panel to see if there is an issue with the connectors...Check a wiring diagram to see where those are powered from. I think they come straight in from the Horn relay. Yo umay want to trace the power back to there. I dont have access to a wiring diagram here at work and the online diagrams are very poor

I misread it I thought they didnt have power. If the half that is associated with the lights, it doesnt have power until you turn on the lights. If its not starting try jumping 12 volts to the positive side of the coil and crank it again. you have 12 volts during crank then a separate 12 volts during run. It could be the power from the solenoid during crank
