Arrow NO ELECTRICITY???

Hey guys, I have a '75 F-150 w/ 460...started truck this AM and ran fine shut it down and went to start it again and NO POWER!?!? Nothing to switch no lights...nothing. I checked my "brand new" battery and it has 12.66 volts. Same voltage at regulator and solenoid. What gives??? Hope my faithful brethren can help sort this one out. "Thank the Lord for the BIG BLOCK FORD".

Check the battery cables, take them off and make sure they are clean and TIGHT!
Sounds like a bad battery connection.
This goes for all of the connections, at the solenoid, starter and in particular the ground. It should be grounded to the block.
The one other possibility is the fusible link burnt out.

Same thing happened to me. For me it was the fusible link on the alternator wires connecting to threw battery side of the solenoid,
