Run a jumper cable from the ground (neg) terminal on the battery to bare metal
somewhere on the chassis.
If things start to work the problem is in the cutoff switch (note: blk/wht wire
on cutoff only prevents spark, won't stop cranking, lights, etc.).

Last time, 2 weeks ago, drove car, everything was fine. Only change
during that time was to make electrical changes to tach and hook it
up. Had not done this since neg ground conversion. Now here is what I
have: voltage at battery 12.3 v. voltage at starter 12.3 v, no drop
here. The car acts like there is not even a battery in it., totally
dead electrically in every way. What I have done so far is make sure
that batt cut off switch was not turned to off. seemed to remember
that blk wht wire at cut off switch could short, so took it off.
Neither of these made a difference. Have been under the dash looking
to see if I had disconnected something there, found nothing. Is 12.3 v
so low that nothing will work? Or is there something else I should be
considering?
TIA,
