If its not getting power I dont know about that, try moving your ground on the neg cable. Do you have pictures of everything before you pulled the 403?

everything is in as close as possible.... identical
positions of wires, positions of where the wires meet...
the ONLY thing different is on the 403 harness there was 2 wires connecting on the starter BUT on the 400 wire harness there is only ONE

From what you said it sounds like your problem is coming from the battery cables. Are the damaged?

I think the cables are new if I'm not mistaken.
When you turn on the car, you should hear the blower motor ... and your not near as I can tell. Regardless of the additional wire at the starter, that doesn't address the lack of ANY power inside the car. I think your harness isn't bringing power into the car - more importantly, to the ignition switch.

That sounds logical, the wiring could have been fried

How many wires do you have going to the alternator? I know when I redid my motor I had to fixed the hacked up harness. There I fogot to hook up both reds going to the back of the alternator. So, nothing would come on like what you are seeing. Fixed that and it fixed everything.

There is that connector with two wires + the one to the nut.
You've got the temperature sender wire.
