no power
so i got a 95 z28 t56 built motor with all the goodies but all stock computer. i check the battery 12v's its a red top. so then i connect it put the multimeter meter on it and nothing but then check the grounds its grounded but no power to anything in the car so is the battery bad? is it shorting out or is there something thats pulling all the power ? i checked every fuse and breaker im very confused and my friend whos training to be a master tech and really good with cars came and looked at it and he has no idea so maybe you guys mite know something we dont

ignition fuse, ignition switch, check your voltage at the computer with the key on, check the power in the harness leading into the car with the key on ect. Check shbox.com for wire diagrams. By no means am i a electrical expert, i was ase certified in it but that doesnt mean ****. Its going to be trial and error brother.

I agree with dragging, K>I>S>S start with where you do and dont have power, when you turn the key does the PURPLE wire on the starter energize with power?
IF NOT
go under the dash drop the colume and probe the Ignition switch, does it have power and is it switching power? unplug it does the connector or switch look burnt or melted at all?
Get back with some results and we can go from there.

You can pill the plug on the ICM and check for power there with the key on IF you have power to the terminal block.
