Another thought just hit me. I don't know about the '75s but my '74 has that
crazy old seatbelt interlock system. Remember, some crazy person thought it
would be a good idea to force the occupants to fasten the seatbelts or the car
would not start. If you have it, even if it has been bypassed, it is still a
possible source of electrical gremlins.

I ran the test in the AMC Technical Service manual and the starter solenoid is
OK since this test actually tried to start the engine. If anyone is
interested I can type it up and send it to the group.
I checked the voltage in the fuse panel and everything that was not ignition
key activated was at 8.61 volts. All fuses look OK. I am not sure if that is
a relevant reading or not.
Still do not understand why there are no lights or radio. Ground checks seem
to be OK. I may have an issue with the ignition switch or starter relay, but
that should not affect the lights. Are there any breakers or additional fuses
that I may not be aware of?
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. It seems like I am making some
progress. Looking forward to the meet in a few short weeks.
