wiring question
Howdy!
Sometime before I bought her, someone put an electric fuel pump on my '74 454 (probably 5 - 8 years ago).
Now, its stopped working, I've determined it to be an electrical problem (multi-meters are great!), and have traced the hot wire down to the fuse box, its connected to the center, "Ign. Acc", which is a single blade, and dosen't seem to have power to it (when the key is either in the "ACC" or "Run" position.
Here is a photo:

Anyone know where this is fused? Or, what could cause this terminal not to have power?
Thanks,
David

Re: wiring question (GDaina)
One would think there'd be a fuse, but I can't find one. I've got to make sure I've got the right wire, but I'm 99% sure I do. I expected and inline fuse, too. Thought this would be a 15min. job.

Re: wiring question (djlangford)
You really need a wiring diagram when you’ve lost power into/out’ a the fuse block/firewall connector. Could be an opened link (fuse link built into the wire itself) but hard to follow through that fuse block. Now most vendors sell an exploded view wiring diagram laminated in plastic – easier to read. But a Haynes manual for corvettes might have it though the one I have is generic for ’73, ’74, ‘75 wiring.
Sounds like you’re on the right trail here.
