Electrical help

Hey all

I have a 1987 f150 with a 302 and AOD trans. I just resealed the engine and put it back in, went alright. Got the truck to idle for a second but gas was bad so I siphoned it out and put some fresh gas in. Now I get zero power to gauges or headlights or anything when I turn the key. No starter either. I have 12v at the solenoid and the starter turns when I jump the battery to the starter power but that's all I get. tested fusible links for continuity and all tested good. I replaced the starter, the solenoid, and the ignition switch as well as lock cylinder all about two years ago. Ground is good and connections are clean. Where should I start looking next?
