Default Electrical Issue

I've got a 90 EFI GT and seem to have an electrical issue. The car just stopped turning over one day. No power to anything. I had my stepdad take a look at it while he was out and he checked all the fuses, replaced starter selenoid, replaced the ignition switch, checked the starter, checked the battery cables. Is there a fusable link somewhere in the cabling that i need to check? Just want to get it running so i can get it to Bandimere (1.5 miles away!). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a mechanic by any means, but can figure most things out with some good direction. Thanks.

Casey

recheck the battery cables. The entire system is powered up through the starter solenoid, and there are no fuseable links from the solenoid to the fuse box.
Check for 12v at the hot terminal on the solenoid, and follow the voltage up into the cabin.

I would also recommend checking the bonding cable. It should be connected to the back of one of the heads and run to the firewall. I had forgotten to connect mine, after upgrading my heads and had that problem. I'm just saying... it's normally something simple that just gets overlooked.
