I have a 67 camaro RS with the 327, 4sp, mostly stock. I drove it all day today (about 70 miles). I pulled it into the garage and turned it off. I tried to start it immediately afterward and I suddenly lost all electrical power. If you hook up a charger or try to jump, I get interior lights, brake lights and radio, but nothing else-will not turn over or work the hideaway lights. All the fuses I could find seem fine. Any ideas?

Top,
Check your battery cable connections. My Wife's Riviera has dont the same thing twice over the yers and both times it was a crappy battery cable connection at the battery.

Billk, you were right. I had a short before recently, so was too focused on that . I grabbed the terminal wires, but not hard enough. I replaced the ends, cleaned them off and all is gpood now. Thanks for the help.
