Died, dead, dead..

Hey y’all, I have a ‘65 Dynamic 88. The other day it died on me, found that one of the wires off the starter solenoid as come into contact with my new exhaust and melted causing a short.

I got it towed it home, replaced the starter and the wiring from starter to junction block. I went to start it with no luck, doesn’t click, no sound nothing. Battery is fully charged, lights are bright, dash lights turn on as normal when attempting to start.

My ignition switch is good, curious if neutral safety switch could cause this issue?

You need to follow the purple wire back through the neutral safety switch. Make sure its on the correct post at the starter.

Same answer I gave you on FB. Likely the short blew the fusible link. Get a VOM or test light and figure out where the power stops.
