Default No power in a 1977 Monte Carlo

Hey guys, i just picked up a 1977 Monte Carlo that has been sitting for 15 years.... I replaced the battery however i get no power to anything in the car (no lights, no hazards, nothing).... I am getting 12.6 volts at the connected terminals ..... any ideas where the problem is?

Hi there, try checking your main fuses and fusible links or wiring from the battery to the ignition switch as well as the ignition switch itself. Have you tried "jump start" with another car?
